Abstract

Besides solving the spectral problem of N=4\mathcal{N}=4 Super-Yang-Mills (SYM) theory, integrability also provides us with tools to compute the structure constants of the theory, most prominently through the hexagon formalism. We show that, with minor modifications, this formalism can also be applied to orbifolds of N=4\mathcal{N}=4 SYM theory, which are integrable theories in their own right. To substantiate this claim, we test our results against a direct gauge-theory calculation at tree-level. We focus here on a family of N=2\mathcal{N}=2 supersymmetric ZM\mathbb{Z}_M-orbifold theories. BPS correlators in these theories have recently been investigated with independent localisation techniques and a structural matching with wrapping corrections in the hexagon formalism was observed. Together with our weak-coupling evidence, this suggests that a full determination of the structure constants of orbifold theories at finite coupling may be within reach.
