In two remarkable recent papers, hep-th/0610248 and hep-th/0610251, the complete planar perturbative expansion was proposed for the universal function of the coupling, f(g), appearing in the dimensions of high-spin operators of the N=4 SYM…

Basso, Komatsu and Vieira recently proposed an all-loop framework for the computation of three-point functions of single-trace operators of ${\cal N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills, the "hexagon program". This proposal results in several remarkable…

Helicity is a useful concept both for AdS${}_4$ and CFT${}_3$ studies. We work out the complete AdS${}_4$/CFT${}_3$ dictionary for spinning fields/operators in the spinor-helicity base that allows one to scalarize any $n$-point contact…

We analyse the general structure of the three-point functions of conserved higher-spin supercurrents in 3D, $\mathcal{N}=1$ superconformal field theory. It is shown that supersymmetry imposes additional restrictions on correlation functions…

Recently the anomalous dimension of twist two operators in N=4 SYM theory was computed by Gubser, Klebanov and Polyakov in the limit of large 't Hooft coupling using semi-classical rotating strings in AdS_5. Here we reproduce their results…

We study three dimensional O(N)_k and U(N)_k Chern-Simons theories coupled to a scalar field in the fundamental representation, in the large N limit. For infinite k this is just the singlet sector of the O(N) (U(N)) vector model, which is…
