Planar maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (N=4 SYM) is a special quantum field theory. A few of its remarkable features are conformal symmetry at the quantum level, evidence of integrability and, moreover, it is a prime example of…

The chiral algebra bootstrap (CAB) is a novel bootstrap program for form factors in quantum-integrable self-dual gauge theories, some of which in turn are helicity amplitudes in the corresponding gauge theories. The singularities that…
