We reexamine the problem of operator mixing in N = 4 SYM. Particular attention is paid to the correct definition of composite gauge invariant local operators, which is necessary for the computation of their anomalous dimensions beyond…
We derive a dual theory of the four-dimensional anomalous U(1) gauge theory with a Wess--Zumino (WZ) term and with a St\"uckelberg type mass term by means of a duality transformation at each of the classical and quantum levels. It is shown…
We investigate the critical behavior of a spin chain coupled to bosonic baths characterized by a spectral density proportional to $\omega^s$, with $s>1$. Varying $s$ changes the effective dimension $d_\text{eff} = d + z$ of the system,…
As was shown earlier, one-loop correction in 10d supergravity on AdS_5 x S^5 corresponds to the contributions to the vacuum energy and boundary 4d conformal anomaly which are minus the values for one n=4 Maxwell supermultiplet, thus…
In this paper we study the form factors for the half-BPS operators $\mathcal{O}^{(n)}_I$ and the $\mathcal{N}=4$ stress tensor supermultiplet current $W^{AB}$ up to the second order of perturbation theory and for the Konishi operator…
We present an on-shell formalism for superamplitudes of pure N<4 super Yang-Mills theory. Two superfields, Phi and Phi^+, are required to describe the two CPT conjugate supermultiplets. Simple truncation prescriptions allow us to derive…
We derive the one loop mixing matrix for anomalous dimensions in N=4 Super Yang-Mills. We show that this matrix can be identified with the Hamiltonian of an integrable SO(6) spin chain with vector sites. We then use the Bethe ansatz to find…
We consider a gauged linear sigma model in two dimensions with Grassmann odd chiral superfields. We investigate the Konishi anomaly of this model and find out the condition for realization of superconformal symmetry on the world-sheet. When…
We derive an analytic formula at three loops for the cusp anomalous dimension Gamma_cusp(phi) in N=4 super Yang-Mills. This is done by exploiting the relation of the latter to the Regge limit of massive amplitudes. We comment on the…
The four point functions of chiral primary BPS operators in ${\cal N}=4$ superconformal Yang Mills are expressed in a form manifestly satisfying the superconformal Ward identities. They are subsequently expanded in terms of conformal…
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…
In the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence, we perform a direct computation in AdS_5 supergravity of the trace anomaly of a d=4, N=2 SCFT. We find agreement with the field theory result up to next to leading order in the 1/N expansion. In…
We study correlators of R-symmetry currents in the Coulomb branch of N = 4 supersymmetric gauge theory in the large-N limit, using the AdS/CFT correspondence. In particular, we consider gauge fields in the presence of gravity and scalar…
We use Ward identities derived from the generalized Konishi anomaly in order to compute effective superpotentials for SU(N), SO(N) and $Sp(N)$ supersymmetric gauge theories coupled to matter in various representations. In particular we…
We present a conjecture for the leading $1/N$ anomalous dimension of the scalar primary operator in $U(N)_k$ Chern-Simons theories coupled to a single fundamental field, to all orders in the t'Hooft coupling $\lambda=\frac{N}{k}$. Following…
We present $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal $\mathsf{U}(1)$ duality-invariant models for an Abelian vector multiplet coupled to conformal supergravity. In a Minkowski background, such a nonlinear theory is expected to describe (the planar…
In N=2 superconformal field theories the Kahler potential is known to be tree level exact. The beta-deformation of N=4 SU(N) SYM reduces the amount of supersymmetry to N=1, allowing for non-trivial, superconformal loop corrections to the…
By analyzing SU(3)xU(1) invariant stationary point, studied earlier by Nicolai and Warner, of gauged N=8 supergravity, we find that the deformation of S^7 gives rise to nontrivial renormalization group flow in a three-dimensional boundary…
We analyze the scaling theory of two-dimensional metallic electron systems in the presence of critical bosonic fluctuations with small wave vectors, which are either due to a U(1) gauge field, or generated by an Ising nematic quantum…
We study the quantum aspects of the conformal gravity in four dimensions, specifically addressing a known discrepancy in beta functions between general quadratic curvature theories and conformal gravity, which corresponds to two scalar…
