We calculate 3-point correlation functions of Delta-BMN operators with 3 scalar impurites in N=4 supersymmetric gauge theory. We use these results to test the pp-wave/SYM duality correspondence of the vertex--correlator type. This…

We study a string motion in the Lunin-Maldacena background, that is, the \beta-deformed AdS_5 \times \tilde{S}^5 background dual to a \beta-deformation of \mathcal{N} = 4 super Yang-Mills theory. For real \beta we construct a rotating and…
