Two-point correlators in non-conformal $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauge theories

High Energy Physics - Theory 2019-06-26 v2

Abstract

We study the two-point correlation functions of chiral/anti-chiral operators in N=2N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories on R4R^4 with gauge group SU(N) and NfN_f massless hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation. We compute them in perturbation theory, using dimensional regularization up to two loops, and show that field-theory observables built out of dimensionless ratios of two-point renormalized correlators on R4R^4 are in perfect agreement with the same quantities computed using localization on the four-sphere, even in the non-conformal case Nf2NN_f\not=2N.
