We investigate another supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory called the orientifold ABJM theory, which replaces the unitary supergroup structure of the ABJM theory with an orthosymplectic one. Its non-perturbative structure is completely…

In this article we review a recent calculation of the two-loop $\sigma$-model corrections to the T-duality map in string theory. Using the effective action approach, and focusing on backgrounds with a single Abelian isometry, we give the…

We consider twist-3 operators in the sl(2) sector of N=4 SYM built out of three scalar fields with derivatives. We extract from the Bethe Ansatz equations of this sector the exact lowest anomalous dimension gamma(s) of scaling fields for…

We consider non-planar one-loop anomalous dimensions in maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and its marginally deformed analogues. Using the basis of Bethe states, we compute matrix elements of the dilatation operator and find…

We extend the study of the quantum mechanics of BMN gauge theory to the sector of three scalar impurities at one loop and all genus. The relevant matrix elements of the non-planar one loop dilatation operator are computed in the gauge…

N=6 superconformal Chern-Simons theory with gauge group U(M)xU(N)} is dual to N M2-branes and (M-N) fractional M2-branes, equivalently, discrete 3-form holonomy at C4/Zk orbifold singularity. We show that, much like its regular counterpart…

These notes provide a brief introduction to the ABJM theory, the level k U(N) x U(N) superconformal Chern-Simons matter theory which has been conjectured to describe N coincident M2-branes. We discuss its dual formulation in terms of…

We investigate how the marginal deformations of N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (analysed in particular by Leigh and Strassler) arise within B-model topological string theory on supertwistor space CP(3|4). This is achieved by turning…

We compute the non-abelian couplings in the Chern-Simons action for a set of coinciding fundamental strings in both the type IIA and type IIB Matrix string theories. Starting from Matrix theory in a weakly curved background, we construct…

We construct integrability-preserving deformations of the integrable $\sigma$-model coupling together $N$ copies of the Principal Chiral Model. These deformed theories are obtained using the formalism of affine Gaudin models, by applying…

Because the chiral-odd structure function h_1 will be measured in the polarized Drell-Yan process, it is important to predict the behavior of h_1 before the measurement. In order to study the Q^2 evolution of h_1, we discuss one and two…

We study the conjecture made by Chang, Minwalla, Sharma, and Yin on the duality between the N=6 Vasiliev higher spin theory on AdS_4 and the N=6 Chern-Simons-matter theory, so-called ABJ theory, with gauge group U(N) x U(N+M). Building on…

We consider the spectrum of anomalous dimensions in planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and its $\mathcal{N}=1$ super-conformal Leigh-Strassler deformations. The two-loop truncation of the integrable $\mathcal{N}=4$…

We introduce a new elliptic integrable $\sigma$-model in the form of a two-parameter deformation of the Principal Chiral Model on the group $\text{SL}_{\mathbb{R}}(N)$, generalising a construction of Cherednik for $N=2$ (up to reality…

A mimetic discretization of the Abelian Chern-Simons theory is presented. The study relies on the formulation of a theory of differential forms in the lattice, including a consistent definition of the Hodge duality operation. Explicit…

We study operator insertions into 1/2 BPS Wilson loops in N = 6 ABJM theory and investigate their two-point correlators. In this framework, the energy emitted by a heavy moving probe can be exactly obtained from some two-point coefficients…

We find classical open string solutions in the $AdS_5\times S^5/\Zop_2$ orientifold with angular momenta along the five-sphere. The energy of these solutions has an expansion in integral powers of $\lambda$ with sigma-model corrections…

Chern-Simons gauge theories coupled to massless fundamental scalars or fermions define interesting non-supersymmetric 3d CFTs that possess approximate higher-spin symmetries at large N. In this paper, we compute the scaling dimensions of…

In this article, subleading (in $1/N$) corrections to the action of the one loop dilatation operator in the su(3) sector of $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory are studied. We focus on the system of operators dual to two giant graviton…

We compute the anomalous dimension of a length-five operator at five-loop order in the SU(2) sector of N=4 SYM theory in the planar limit. This is critical wrapping order at five loops. The result is obtained perturbatively by means of N=1…
