Abstract

Integrated correlator of four superconformal stress-tensor primaries in SU(N)SU(N) N=4\mathcal{N}=4 super Yang-Mills (SYM) theory in the perturbative limit takes a remarkably simple form, where the LL-loop coefficient is given by a rational multiple of ζ(2L+1)\zeta(2L+1). In this letter, we extend the previous analysis of expressing the perturbative integrated correlator as a linear combination of periods of ff-graphs, graphical representations for loop integrands, to the non-planar sector at four loops. At this loop order, multiple zeta values make their first appearance when evaluating periods of non-planar ff-graphs, but cancel non-trivially in the weighted sum. The remaining single zeta value, along with the rational number prefactor, makes a perfect agreement with the prediction from supersymmmetric localisation.
