Three-point functions in ${\cal N}=4$ SYM: the hexagon proposal at three loops
Abstract
Basso, Komatsu and Vieira recently proposed an all-loop framework for the computation of three-point functions of single-trace operators of super-Yang-Mills, the "hexagon program". This proposal results in several remarkable predictions, including the three-point function of two protected operators with an unprotected one in the and sectors. Such predictions consist of an "asymptotic" part---similar in spirit to the asymptotic Bethe Ansatz of Beisert and Staudacher for two-point functions---as well as additional finite-size "wrapping" L\"uscher-like corrections. The focus of this paper is on such wrapping corrections, which we compute at three-loops in the sector. The resulting structure constants perfectly match the ones obtained in the literature from four-point correlators of protected operators.
