Recently it was shown that the scaling dimension of the operator $\phi^n$ in $\lambda(\bar\phi\phi)^2$ theory may be computed semiclassically at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point in $d=4-\epsilon$, for generic values of $\lambda n$, and this…
Basso, Komatsu and Vieira recently proposed an all-loop framework for the computation of three-point functions of single-trace operators of ${\cal N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills, the "hexagon program". This proposal results in several remarkable…

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…
We study three point functions of half BPS operators in $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory focusing on correltors of two of the operators with dimension of order $\Delta\sim N^2$ and a light single trace operator. These describe vacuum…
We consider the virtual corrections to Higgs boson pair production at next-to-next-to-leading order, in the large top quark mass limit. We compute five expansion terms for the box-type form factors and eight expansion terms for the triangle…
We compute the three-loop QCD corrections to the massive quark-anti-quark-photon form factors $F_1$ and $F_2$ in the large-$N_c$ limit. The analytic results are expressed in terms of Goncharov polylogarithms. This allows for a…
We compute form factors in planar N=4 Super Yang-Mills at strong coupling. Namely we consider the overlap between an operator insertion and 2n gluons. Through the gauge/string duality these are given by minimal surfaces in AdS space. The…
In this paper, we continue our study of form factors and correlation functions of gauge-invariant local composite operators in the twistor-space formulation of N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. Using the vertices for these operators obtained in…
We consider $\phi^3$ theory in $6-2\epsilon$ with $F_4$ global symmetry. The beta function is calculated up to 3 loops, and a stable unitary IR fixed point is observed. The anomalous dimensions of operators quadratic or cubic in $\phi$ are…
The two-point functions of the energy-momentum tensor and the Noether current are used to probe the O(3) nonlinear sigma model in an energy range below 10^4 in units of the mass gap $m$. We argue that the form factor approach, with the form…
We show that the BMN operators arise from the expansion of the Wilson loop in four-dimensional N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. The Wilson loop we consider is obtained from ``dimensional reduction'' of ten-dimensional N=1 super Yang-Mills…
We compute four-point functions with two maximal giant gravitons and two chiral primary operators at three-loop order in planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ Super-Yang-Mills theory. The Lagrangian insertion method, together with symmetries of the theory…

Three-point functions of analytic (chiral primary) operators in N=4 Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions are calculated using the harmonic superspace formulation of this theory. In the case of the energy-momentum tensor multiplet anomaly…
The double-copy construction for form factors was reported in our previous work, in which a novel mechanism of turning spurious poles in Yang-Mills theory into physical poles in gravity is observed. This paper is the first of a series of…
In this thesis, we study the three-loop QCD form factors. After an introduction and a discussion of the physics motivation, we generate the quark form factor using Qgraf. We then show how to bring the Feynman integrals into a unique form by…
We study the form factor of a generic gauge-invariant local composite operator in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM theory. At tree level and for a minimal number of external on-shell super fields, we find that the form factor precisely yields the…
