We consider higher-point generalizations of the "octagon" large-charge four-point function in planar N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. These n-point polygon correlators are defined as ten-dimensional null limits of generating functions of…

We analyse the general structure of the three-point functions involving conserved higher-spin ``vector-like" supercurrents $J_{s}(z) := J_{\alpha(s) \dot{\alpha}(s)}(z)$ in four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ superconformal field theory. Using…

Multi-trace scalar operators in the (0,k,0) representations of SU(4)_R share many properties with their single-trace analogs. These multi-trace operators are primary fields of short representations of the N=4 superconformal group. Thus,…
