We argue that for any single-trace operator in ${\cal N}=4$ SYM theory there is a large twist double-scaling limit in which the Feynman graphs have an iterative structure. Such structure can be recast using a graph-building operator.…

We discuss homogeneous Yang-Baxter deformations of integrable sigma models in terms of twist operators. We show that the twist operators behave as the classical analogue of a Drinfeld twist, for all abelian and almost abelian deformations.…
