In this talk, I will discuss some features of heavy–heavy–light–light correlators in N=4 supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory, where the light operators belong to the stress-tensor multiplet and the heavy ones correspond to giant gravitons, realised holographically as D3-branes. I will focus on the associated Integrated Correlators, for which exact expressions can be obtained despite few results are known for the correlators themselves. I will highlight several interesting properties of these integrated correlators, especially the emergence of universal structures in the strong-coupling regime. I will also discuss different integrated correlators in certain N=2 superconformal field theories, which are holographically dual to scattering of gravitons (and gluons) in the presence of D7-branes. Surprisingly, these integrated correlators in N=2 theories are given by exactly the same strong coupling asymptotic series as those of giant gravitons, despite the fact that their weak coupling expansions are very different.
