We investigate integrability properties of Gukov-Witten 1/2-BPS surface defects in $SU(N)$ $\mathcal{N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills (SYM) theory in the large-$N$ limit. We demonstrate that ordinary Gukov-Witten defects, which depend on a set of…

We study the four-point correlator $\langle \mathcal{O}_2 \mathcal{O}_2 \mathcal{D} \mathcal{D} \rangle$ in $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory (SYM) with $SU(N)$ gauge group, where $\mathcal{O}_2$ represents the superconformal primary…

Correlation functions in perturbative N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory are examined in the Berenstein-Maldacena-Nastase (BMN) limit. We demonstrate that non-extremal four-point functions of chiral primary fields are ill-defined in that…
