Higher-Loop Integrability in N=4 Gauge Theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2011-03-23 v2

Abstract

The dilatation operator measures scaling dimensions of local operator in a conformal field theory. Algebraic methods of constructing the dilatation operator in four-dimensional N=4 gauge theory are reviewed. These led to the discovery of novel integrable spin chain models in the planar limit. Making use of Bethe ansaetze, a superficial discrepancy in the AdS/CFT correspondence was found, we discuss this issue and give a possible resolution.
