Abstract
The propagator for k ≥ 0 Kaluza-Klein modes of the graviton in supergravity
(SUGRA) on AdS5 X S5 is calculated in part. This propagator could be useful in
calculations of four-leg scattering amplitudes as a further test of the proposed holographic
duality between SUGRA on AdSd and the conformal field theory (CFT) on
the (d - 1)-dimensional boundary of AdS d. The propagator is a symmetric bitensor
and thus can be written as a linear combination of five basis tensors. A system of
equations for the five coefficient functions is obtained. It is shown that a combination
of three of these functions is a certain hypergeometric function.
