We consider the general hypermultiplet Low-Energy Effective Action (LEEA) that may appear in quantized, four-dimensional, N=2 supersymmetric, gauge theories, e.g. in the Coulomb and Higgs branches. Our main purpose is a description of the…

We study four-point correlators in superconformal theories in various dimensions. We develop an efficient method to solve the superconformal Ward identities in Mellin space. For 4d $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM and the 6d $\mathcal{N}=(2,0)$ theory,…
