Scattering amplitudes in superconformal field theories do not enjoy this symmetry, because the definition of asymptotic states involve a notion of infinity. Concentrating on planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ Yang-Mills, we consider a generalization of…

Four point functions of general N=4 1/2-BPS primary fields, satisfying the next-next-to-extremality condition \Delta_{1}+\Delta_{2}+\Delta_{3}-\Delta_{4}=4 are studied at large N and strong coupling. We apply new techniques to evaluate the…
