We propose an operator product expansion for planar form factors of local operators in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM theory. This expansion is based on the dual conformal symmetry of these objects or, equivalently, the conformal symmetry of their…

In this letter we discuss the operator product expansion of scalar operators in five-dimensional field theories with an $SU(1,3)\times U(1)$ spacetime symmetry. Such theories arise by a novel conformal null reduction of six-dimensional…

A new method for calculating the coefficient functions of the operator product expansion is proposed which does not depend explicitly on elementary fields. Coefficient functions are defined entirely in terms of composite operators. The…
