We compute two-point functions of chiral operators Tr \Phi^3 in {\cal N}=4 SU(N) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory to the order g^4 in perturbation theory. We perform explicit calculations using {\cal N}=1 superspace techniques and find that…
In this paper we discuss different recursion relations (BCFW and all-line shift) for the form factors of the operators from the $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM stress-tensor current supermultiplet $T^{AB}$ in momentum twistor space. We show that…
We obtain a determinant expression for the tree-level structure constant of three non-extremal single-trace operators in the SU(2) sector of planar N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory.
We show that certain classes of apparently unprotected operators in N=4 SYM_4 do not receive quantum corrections as a consequence of a partial non-renormalization theorem for the 4-point function of chiral primary operators. We develop…

We take the first step in extending the integrability approach to one-point functions in AdS/dCFT to higher loop orders. More precisely, we argue that the formula encoding all tree-level one-point functions of SU(2) operators in the defect…
We present a detailed analysis of the 4-point functions of the lowest weight chiral primary operators $O^{I} \sim \tr \phi^{(i}\phi^{j)}$ in $\N =4$ SYM$_4$ at strong coupling and show that their structure is compatible with the predictions…
In this work, building up on [1] we present momentum space Ward identities related to broken higher spin symmetry as an alternate approach to computing correlators of spinning operators in interacting theories such as the quasi-fermionic…
The N = 2, 4 superconformal symmetry constraints in d = 4 for four point functions of chiral primary 1/2-BPS operators are derived. The operators are described by symmetric traceless tensors of the internal R-symmetry group. A substantial…
We propose an integrability approach for planar three-point functions at finite coupling in $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories obtained as $\mathbb{Z}_K$ orbifolds of $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills (SYM). Generalizing the…
We study the structure of the four-point correlation function of the lowest-dimension 1/2 BPS operators (stress-tensor multiplets) in the (2,0) six-dimensional theory. We first discuss the superconformal Ward identities and the…
We study the noncommutative \phi^4_4-quantum field theory at the self-duality point. This model is renormalisable to all orders as shown in earlier work of us and does not have a Landau ghost problem. Using the Ward identity of Disertori,…
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 extend the cosmological bootstrap to correlators involving massless particles with spin. In de Sitter space, these correlators are constrained both by symmetries and by locality. In particular, the de Sitter isometries become conformal…
In this note we study the possible connection between functions appearing in diagrammatic expansion and the conformal correlator expansion. To study the connection we propose a generating function which can be expanded to construct a basis.…
We develop a method for computing correlation functions of twist operators in the bosonic 2-d CFT arising from orbifolds M^N/S_N, where M is an arbitrary manifold. The path integral with twist operators is replaced by a path integral on a…
Using integrability techniques, we compute four-point functions of single trace gauge-invariant operators in N=4 SYM to leading order at weak coupling. Our results are valid for operators of arbitrary size. In particular, we study the limit…
We develop N=4 d=4 bi-harmonic superspace and use it to derive a novel form for the low-energy effective action in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. We solve the N=4 supergauge constraints in this superspace in terms of analytic superfields.…
We present a new formalism to solve the kinematical constraints due to Weyl invariance for CFTs in curved backgrounds and/or non-trivial states, and we apply it to thermal CFTs and to CFTs on squashed spheres. The ambient space formalism is…
We apply the numerical bootstrap program to chiral operators in four-dimensional ${\mathcal N}=2$ SCFTs. In the first part of this work we study four-point functions in which all fields have the same conformal dimension. We give special…
