We consider $\alpha'$ corrections to four-point correlators of half-BPS operators in $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory in the supergravity limit. By demanding the correct behaviour in the flat space limit, we find that the leading…

We review the spin bit model describing anomalous dimensions of the operators of Super Yang--Mills theory. We concentrate here on the scalar sector. In the limit of large $N$ this model coincides with integrable spin chain while at finite N…

We study operator mixing, due to planar one-loop corrections, for composite operators in D=4 supersymmetric theories. We present some N=1,2 Yang-Mills and Wess-Zumino models, in which the planar one-loop anomalous dimension matrix in the…

We re-derive semi-shortening conditions for four-dimensional superconformal field theory with a different approach. These conditions have similar patterns that can be generalized to weaker constraints, including all those of F. Dolan and H.…

Integrated correlation functions in $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang--Mills theory with gauge group $SU(N)$ can be expressed in terms of the localised $S^4$ partition function, $Z_N$, deformed by a mass $m$. Two such cases are…

The four dimensional $\mathcal{N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills (SYM) theory exhibits rich dynamics in the presence of codimension-one conformal defects. The new structure constants of the extended operator algebra consist of one-point functions of…

We analyze the large $N$ spectrum of chiral primary operators of three dimensional fixed points of the renormalization group. Using the space-time picture of the fixed points and the correspondence between anti-de Sitter compactifications…

We give a simple diagrammatic algorithm for writing the chiral large $N$ expansion of intersecting Wilson loops in $2D$ $SU(N)$ and $U(N) $Yang Mills theory in terms of symmetric groups, generalizing the result of Gross and Taylor for…

Permutations and associated algebras allow the construction of half and quarter BPS operators in maximally supersymmetric Yang Mills theory with $U(N)$, $SO(N)$ and $Sp(N) $ gauge groups. The construction leads to bases for the operators,…

We study two-point functions of single-trace half-BPS operators in the presence of a supersymmetric Wilson line in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM. We use inversion formula technology in order to reconstruct the CFT data starting from a single…

We consider the ratio of the correlation function of n+1 local operators over the correlator of the first n of these operators in planar N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory, and consider the limit where the first n operators become pairwise null…

Super-Yang-Mills theory (SYM) is a central building block for supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. Whereas the weakly coupled subsector of the latter can be treated within a perturbative setting, the strongly…

We study a 4d gauge theory $U(1)^{N-1}\rtimes S_N$ obtained from a $U(1)^{N-1}$ theory by gauging a 0-form symmetry $S_N$. We show that this theory has a global continuous 2-category symmetry, whose structure is particularly rich for $N>2$.…

We show that the BMN operators in D=4 N=4 super Yang Mills theory proposed as duals of stringy oscillators in a plane wave background have a natural quantum group construction in terms of the quantum deformation of the SO(6) $R$ symmetry.…
