In this short note we use the flat space limit and the relation between the 4-pt correlation function of the bottom and top components of the stress tensor multiplet to constraint its stringy corrections at strong coupling in the planar…

We propose a new framework for computing three-point functions in planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills where these correlators take the form of multiple integrals of Separation of Variables type. We test this formalism at weak coupling…

We compute the high-temperature limit of the free energy for four-dimensional N=4 supersymmetric SU(N_c) Yang-Mills theory. At weak coupling we do so for a general ultrastatic background spacetime, and in the presence of slowly-varying…
