Euler sums (also called Zagier sums) occur within the context of knot theory and quantum field theory. There are various conjectures related to these sums whose incompletion is a sign that both the mathematics and physics communities do not…

In this article we compute the action of the two loop dilatation operator on restricted Schur polynomials that belong to the su(2) sector, in the displaced corners approximation. In this non-planar large N limit, operators that diagonalize…

We study analytic properties of multiple zeta-functions of generalized Hurwitz-Lerch type. First, as a special type of them, we consider multiple zeta-functions of generalized Euler-Zagier-Lerch type and investigate their analytic…

Let $$ \zeta_E(s,q)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(-1)^n}{(n+q)^{s}} $$ be the alternating Hurwitz (or Hurwitz-type Euler) zeta function. In this paper, we obtain the following asymptotic expansion of $\zeta_{E}(s,q)$ $$ \zeta_E(s,q)\sim\frac12…

We present a simple argument to show that the beta-function of the d-dimensional KPZ-equation (d>=2) is to all orders in perturbation theory given by beta(g) = (d-2) g - 2/(8 pi)^(d/2) Gamma(2-d/2) g^2 . Neither the dynamical exponent z nor…

We present the new results for the generalised double-logarithmic equation, obtained from the analytical continuation of the seven-loop anomalous dimension of twist-2 operators in the planar N=4 SYM theory. The double-logarithmic equation…

For the case of a relativistic scalar field at finite temperature with a chemical potential, we calculate an exact expression for the one-loop effective action using the full fourth order determinant and zeta-function regularisation. We…

We study the spectrum of one single magnon in the superconformal beta-deformed N=4 SYM theory in the planar limit. We compute the anomalous dimensions of one-impurity operators O_{1,L}= tr(phi Z^{L-1}), including wrapping contributions at…

In this paper, we introduce a new function, the multiple confluent hypergeometric functions, and establish a functional equation for the $r$-variable Euler--Zagier multiple zeta functions using it. In the case when $r=2$, this functional…

An important ``observable'' of planar N=4 SYM theory is the scaling function f(lambda) that appears in the anomalous dimension of large spin twist 2 operators and also in the cusp anomaly of light-like Wilson loops. The non-trivial relation…

We introduce Schur multiple zeta functions which interpolate both the multiple zeta and multiple zeta-star functions of the Euler-Zagier type combinatorially. We first study their basic properties including a region of absolute convergence…

The renormalization procedure of the non-linear SU(2) sigma model in D=4 proposed in hep-th/0504023 and hep-th/0506220 is here tested in a truly non-trivial case where the non-linearity of the functional equation is crucial. The simplest…

We study at strong coupling the scaling function describing the large spin anomalous dimension of twist two operators in ${\cal N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory. In the spirit of AdS/CFT duality, it is possible to extract it from the string…

We employ the second order of the derivative expansion of the nonperturbative renormalization group to study cubic ($\mathbb{Z}_4$-symmetric) perturbations to the classical $XY$ model in dimensionality $d\in [2,4]$. In $d=3$ we provide…

We study non-perturbative interpolating functions to probe the physics of anomalous dimensions associated with twist-two operators in ${\cal N}=4$ SYM of finite and infinite spin. Compared to previous studies, the novel result of this paper…

Strong evidence indicates that the spectrum of planar anomalous dimensions of N=4 super Yang-Mills theory is given asymptotically by Bethe equations. A curious observation is that the Bethe equations for the psu(1,1|2) subsector lead to…

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…
