We consider a full Leigh-Strassler deformation of the ${\cal N}=4$ SYM theory and look for conditions under which the theory would be conformally invariant and finite. Applying the algorithm of perturbative adjustments of the couplings we…
We present a new method for computing the Konishi anomalous dimension in N=4 SYM at weak coupling. It does not rely on the conventional Feynman diagram technique and is not restricted to the planar limit. It is based on the OPE analysis of…
We introduce a non-unitary-compatible numerical bootstrap strategy based on the statistical stability of OPE data inferred from crossing at multiple cross-ratios. For a trial spectrum, crossing determines OPE coefficients whose residual…

Planar N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory appears to be perturbatively integrable. This work reviews integrability in terms of a Yangian algebra and compares the application to the problems of anomalous dimensions and scattering…
A new derivation is given of four-point functions of charge $Q$ chiral primary multiplets in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. A compact formula, valid for arbitrary $Q$, is given which is manifestly superconformal and analytic in the…
While the achievements in the study of N=4 Super Yang-Mills through the application of integrability are impressive, the precise origins of the exact solvability remain shrouded in mystery. In this note, we propose that viewing the problem…
We study the conformal bootstrap for 4-point functions of stress tensors in parity-preserving 3d CFTs. To set up the bootstrap equations, we analyze the constraints of conformal symmetry, permutation symmetry, and conservation on the…

In this work, we bootstrap the 4-point correlators on the 1D celestial circle using 3D symmetries in the Aharony-Bergman-Jafferis-Maldacena theory as constraints. We find that the dual inversion property is strong enough to replace the…
We set up a perturbative framework for the 't Hooft line in the N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory, and apply it to correlators thereof with Wilson loops and local operators. Using this formalism we obtain a number of perturbative and…
We apply the positivity bootstrap approach to SU(3) lattice Yang-Mills (YM) theory, extending previous studies of large N and SU(2) theories by incorporating multiple-trace Wilson loop operators. By utilizing Hermitian and reflection…
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 study the gamma-deformation of the planar N=4 super Yang-Mills theory which breaks all supersymmetries but is expected to preserve integrability of the model. We focus on the operator Tr$(\phi_1\phi_1)$ built from two scalars, whose…
We developed an efficient numerical algorithm for computing the spectrum of anomalous dimensions of the planar ${\cal N}=4$ Super-Yang--Mills at finite coupling. The method is based on the Quantum Spectral Curve formalism. In contrast to…

We compute $1/\lambda$ corrections to the four-point functions of half-BPS operators in $SU(N)$ $\mathcal{N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills theory at large $N$ and large 't Hooft coupling $\lambda=g_\text{YM}^2 N$ using two methods. Firstly, we relate…
We apply bootstrap techniques in order to constrain the CFT data of the $(A_1,A_2)$ Argyres-Douglas theory, which is arguably the simplest of the Argyres-Douglas models. We study the four-point function of its single Coulomb branch chiral…
We derive analytic results for the symbol of certain two-loop Feynman integrals relevant for seven- and eight-point two-loop scattering amplitudes in planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ super-Yang--Mills theory. We use a bootstrap inspired strategy,…
