We compute three-point functions of single trace operators in planar N = 4 SYM. We consider the limit where one of the operators is much smaller than the other two. We find a precise match between weak and strong coupling in the Frolov-Tseytlin classical limit for a very general class of classical solutions. To achieve this match we clarify the issue of back-reaction and identify precisely which three-point functions are captured by a classical computation.

In this talk I will report on the computation at strong coupling of the AdS contribution to the 3-point correlation function of operators corresponding to classical strings which rotate in the S5. This contribution is universal for all operators which have only SO(6) charges.
