Abstract

We consider large-R-charge Coulomb branch correlation functions in N=2\mathcal{N} = 2 superconformal QCD in D=4 dimensions, with gauge group SU(2)SU(2) and Nf=4N_f = 4 hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation. Using information from supersymmetric recursion relations, S-duality, and matching of EFT parameters with the double-scaling limit, we give an exact formula for the massless Coulomb branch EFT contribution to the correlation function two-point functions of the n.th power of the chiral ring generator, G2n(EFT)=24nZS4[τ]Γ(2n+5/2)eA[τ]n+B[τ]G_{2n}^{\text{(EFT)}} = \frac{2^{4n}}{Z_{S^4}[\tau]} \Gamma(2n + 5/2) e^{A[\tau]n + B[\tau]} with A[τ]A[\tau] and B[τ]B[\tau] given as explicit functions of the coupling constant τ\tau in closed form. We note the precise agreement of the EFT formula with supersymmetric localization even at low values of nn, and discuss aspects of the post-EFT remainder contributed by the macroscopic virtual propagation of massive particles.
