We have computed superconformal partial wave for the mixed correlators involving $J$, $\phi$ and $\phi^\dagger$, where $J$ is the superconformal primary of 4D ${\mathcal N} = 2$ stress-tensor multiplet, $\phi$ and $\phi^\dagger$ are chiral…

Planar maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (N=4 SYM) is a special quantum field theory. A few of its remarkable features are conformal symmetry at the quantum level, evidence of integrability and, moreover, it is a prime example of…
