Supergraphs and the cubic Leigh-Strassler model

High Energy Physics - Theory 2015-05-30 v2

Abstract

We discuss supergraphs and their relation to "chiral functions" in N=4 Super Yang-Mills. Based on the magnon dispersion relation and an explicit three-loop result of Sieg's we make an all loop conjecture for the rational contributions of certain classes of supergraphs. We then apply superspace techniques to the "cubic" branch of Leigh-Strassler N=1 superconformal theories. We show that there are order 2^L/L single trace operators of length L which have zero anomalous dimensions to all loop order in the planar limit. We then compute the anomalous dimensions for another class of single trace operators we call one-pair states. Using the conjecture we can find a simple expression for the rational part of the anomalous dimension which we argue is valid at least up to and including five-loop order. Based on an explicit computation we can compute the anomalous dimension for these operators to four loops.
