We compute, to the lowest perturbative order in $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills theory, $n$-point correlators in the coordinate and momentum representation of the gauge-invariant twist-$2$ operators with maximal spin along the $p_+$ direction, both in…

Surface operators are nonlocal probes of gauge theories capable of distinguishing phases that are not discernible by the classic Wilson-'t Hooft criterion. We prove that the correlation function of a surface operator with a chiral primary…

We consider operators in ${\cal N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory dual to closed string states propagating on a class of LLM geometries. The LLM geometries we consider are specified by a boundary condition that is a set of black rings on the…

The complete one-loop planar dilatation operator of N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills is isomorphic to the hamiltonian of an integrable PSU(2,2|4) quantum spin chain. We construct the non-linear sigma models describing the continuum limit of…

Using 4D Chern-Simons (CS) theory with gauge symmetry $G$ having minuscule coweights, we develop a suitable operator basis to deal with the explicit calculation of the Lax operator of integrable spin chain satisfying the RLL equation. Using…

We study the correlators of a recently discovered family of BPS Wilson loops in ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric U(N) Yang-Mills theory. When the contours lie on a two-sphere in the space-time, we propose a closed expression that is valid for…

We study supersymmetric sectors at half-BPS boundaries and interfaces in the 4d $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills with the gauge group $G$, which are described by associative algebras equipped with twisted traces. Such data are in one-to-one…

We consider limits of $\mathcal{N} = 4$ super-Yang-Mills (SYM) theory that approach BPS bounds. These limits result in non-relativistic near-BPS theories that describe the effective dynamics near the BPS bounds and upon quantization are…

We obtain all planar four-point correlators of half-BPS operators in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM up to five loops. The ansatz for the integrand is fixed partially by imposing light-cone OPE relations between different correlators. We then fix the…

Using twistor string theory, we engineer a gravitational holographic dual of the self-dual sector of $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory. This provides a top-down example of holography at zero 't Hooft coupling. Our holographic…

We show that all half-BPS Wilson loop operators in N=4 SYM -- which are labeled by Young tableaus -- have a gravitational dual description in terms of D5-branes or alternatively in terms of D3-branes in AdS_5xS^5. We prove that the…

We study an extension of the Seiberg-Witten theory of $5d$ $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills on $\mathbb{R}^4 \times S^1$. We investigate correlation functions among loop operators. These are the operators analogous to the Wilson…

BPS algebras are the symmetries of a wide class of brane-inspired models. They are closely related to Yangians -- the peculiar and somewhat sophisticated limit of DIM algebras. Still they possess some simple and explicit representations. We…

We present the full form of a four-point correlation function of large BPS operators in planar N = 4 Super Yang-Mills to any loop order. We do this by following a bootstrap philosophy based on three simple axioms pertaining to (i) the space…

We consider the four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ quiver gauge theory arising from a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ orbifold of $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills with gauge group $SU(2N)$. We study the integrated correlator between a half-BPS Wilson line and…

We show that the phase spaces of a large family of line operators in 4d Chern-Simons theory with $\text{GL}_n$ gauge group are given by Cherkis bow varieties with $n$ crosses. These line operators are characterized by Hanany-Witten type…

We propose a systematic procedure for obtaining all single trace 1/2-BPS correlators in N=4 super Yang-Mills corresponding to the four-point tree-level amplitude for type IIB string theory in AdS5xS5. The underlying idea is to compute…

We study the Schur line defect correlation functions in $\mathcal{N}=4$ and $\mathcal{N}=2^*$ $U(N)$ super Yang-Mills (SYM) theory. We find exact closed-form formulae of the correlation functions of the Wilson line operators in the…

We employ the light-cone formalism to construct in the (super) Yang-Mills theories in the multi-color limit the one-loop dilatation operator acting on single trace products of chiral superfields separated by light-like distances. In the N=4…

We continue the study of n-point correlation functions of half-BPS protected operators in N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory, in the limit where the positions of the adjacent operators become light-like separated. We compute the l-loop corrections…
