We study the correlator of chiral primary operators in $\Ncal$=4 super Yang-Mills theory in large $N$ limit. Through the free fermion picture, we map the gauge group rank and R-charges in SYM to the Fermi level and tachyon momenta,…

In this article, subleading (in $1/N$) corrections to the action of the one loop dilatation operator in the su(3) sector of $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory are studied. We focus on the system of operators dual to two giant graviton…

We perform a systematic analysis on supersymmetric states in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (SYM) on R x S^3. We find a new set of 1/16 BPS equations and determine the precise configuration of the supersymmetric states by solving all…

We use the AdS/CFT correspondence to calculate three point functions of chiral primary operators at large N in d=3, N=8 and d=6, N=(2,0) superconformal field theories. These theories are related to the infrared fixed points of world-volume…

In a {\cal N}=1 superspace formulation of {\cal N}=4 Yang-Mills theory we obtain the anomalous dimensions of chiral operators with large R charge J \to \infty keeping g^2 N/J^2 finite, to all orders of perturbation theory in the planar…

We compute the three-loop anomalous dimension of the BMN operators with charges J=0 (the Konishi multiplet) and J=1 in N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory. We employ a method which effectively reduces the calculation to two loops. Instead of using…

We study at perturbative level the correlation functions of a general class of 1/8 BPS Wilson loops and chiral primaries in N = 4 Super Yang-Mills theory. The contours and the location of operator insertions share a sphere S^2 embedded into…

We study the anomalous dimensions for scalar operators in ABJM theory in the SU(2) sector. The operators we consider have a classical dimension that grows as N in the large N limit. Consequently, the large N limit is not captured by summing…

We show that certain classes of apparently unprotected operators in N=4 SYM_4 do not receive quantum corrections as a consequence of a partial non-renormalization theorem for the 4-point function of chiral primary operators. We develop…

We compute general expressions for two types of three-point functions of (semi-)short multiplets in four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories. These (semi-)short multiplets are called "Schur multiplets" and play an…

We study two- and three-point correlation functions of chiral primary half-BPS operators in four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal circular, cyclic symmetric quiver theories. Using supersymmetric localization, these functions can…

We construct the classical configurations of BPS states with 1/4 unbroken supersymmetries in four-dimensional N=4 SU(n+1) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, and discuss that these configurations correspond to string networks connecting (n+1)…

We study large-N double-scaling limits of U(N) gauge theories in four dimensions. We focus on theories in a partially confining phase where an abelian subgroup $\hat{G}$ of the gauge group remains unconfined. Double-scaling is defined near…

We discuss non-renormalization properties of some composite operators in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory.

The superconformal group of N=4 super-Yang-Mills has two types of operator representations: short and long. We conjecture that operator product expansions for which at least two of the three operators are short exactly respect a bonus…

Recently, the short-distance asymptotics of the generating functional of $n$-point correlators of twist-$2$ operators in SU($N$) Yang-Mills (YM) theory has been worked out in [1]. The above computation relies on a basis change of…

Due to chiral supersymmetry the (nonzero mode) spectral and symmetry properties of a 4-dimensional, self-dual Dirac-Yang-Mills operator $\D$ can be recovered from those of the corresponding scalar Laplacian $D^2$. It is shown that a similar…

In the framework of the semiclassical approach, we compute the normalized structure constants in three-point correlation functions, when two of the vertex operators correspond to heavy string states, while the third vertex corresponds to a…

We study the superconformal index of the N=4 super-Yang-Milles theory on S^3 X S^1 with the half BPS superconformal surface operator (defect) inserted at the great circle of S^3. The half BPS superconformal surface operators preserve the…

We study $S_N$-invariant four-point functions with two generic multi-cycle fields and two twist-2 fields, at the free orbifold point of the D1-D5 CFT. We derive the explicit factorization of these functions following from the action of the…
