For theories with multiple couplings we construct simple expressions for the four-dimensional (or, in general, integer-dimensional) renormalization constants assuming that all divergences are logarithmical. These expressions allow relating…
We discuss recent results on two-point functions of chiral primary operators in {\cal N}=4 SU(N) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. Our results give further support to the belief that such correlators are not renormalized to all orders in g…
We consider four-point correlation functions of protected single-trace scalar operators in planar N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM). We conjecture that all loop corrections derive from an integrand which enjoys a ten-dimensional…
We study and compute supersymmetric observables for line defects in 3d $\mathcal{N}\ge4$ theories. Our setup is a novel supersymmetric configuration involving line operators and local operators living on a linked circle. The algebra of the…
We analyze the constraints on the general form and the singularity structure of the correlation functions of the symmetric, traceless and conserved stress-energy tensor implied by conformal invariance and higher spin symmetry in four…
We apply the functional renormalization group to an Abelian Group Field Theory extended beyond the branched-polymer (melonic) sector by including interactions that are subdominant from a power-counting perspective but enhanced by derivative…
The graviton exchange diagram for the correlation function of arbitrary scalar operators is evaluated in anti-de Sitter space, AdS(d+1). This enables us to complete the computation of the 4-point amplitudes of dilaton and axion fields in…
We study some consequences of coupling supersymmetric theories to (super)gravity. To linear order, the couplings are determined by the energy-momentum supermultiplet. At higher orders, the couplings are determined by contact terms in…
We consider the four-point correlator of the stress tensor multiplet in ${\cal N}=4$ SYM in the limit of large central charge $c \sim N^2$. For finite values of $g^2N$ single-trace intermediate operators arise at order $1/c$ and this leads…
We test the conjectured relationship between N=4 super Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions and IIB supergravity compactified on $AdS_5\times S_5$ by computing the two- and three-point functions of R-symmetry currents. We observe that the…
We study correlators of $\frac{1}{2}$-BPS mesons in two examples of 4d SQCDs with $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal symmetry in the planar limit. We focus on the weakly coupled regime and obtain one-loop corrections to $n$-point meson…
We consider d=4 N=2 supergravity theories which serve as low-energy effective actions for heterotic strings on K_3 \times T^2. At the perturbative level we construct a new version of the heterotic effective action in which the axion has…
It is shown that there are no nilpotent invariants in N=4 analytic superspace for $n\leq4$ points. It is argued that there is (at least) one such invariant for n=5 points which is not invariant under U(1)_Y. The consequences of these…
We perform a consistent reduction of 6d matter-coupled F(4) supergravity on a compact Riemann surface $\Sigma_\mathfrak{g}$ of genus $\mathfrak{g}$, at the level of the bosonic action. The result is an $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauged supergravity…
We derive superconformal partial waves for all scalar four-point functions on a super Grassmannian space Gr(m|n,2m|2n) for all m,n. This family of four-point functions includes those of all (arbitrary weight) half BPS operators in both N=4…
We present a systematic study of holographic correlators in a vast array of SCFTs with non-maximal superconformal symmetry. These theories include 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ SCFTs from D3-branes near F-theory singularities, 5d Seiberg exceptional…
We present the computation of all the correlators of 1/2-BPS operators in $\mathcal{N} = 4$ SYM with weights up to 8 as well as some very high-weight correlation functions from the effective supergravity action. The computation is done by…
We study the defect CFT associated with the half-BPS Wilson line in $\mathcal{N}=4$ Super Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions. Using a perturbative bootstrap approach, we derive new analytical results for multipoint correlators of…
The four-loop, two-point form factor contains the first non-planar correction to the lightlike cusp anomalous dimension. This anomalous dimension is a universal function which appears in many applications. Its planar part in N = 4 SYM is…
We review our recent works on the supersymmetrization of the leading string correction (the R^4 term) to N=1,2 supergravity theories in four dimensions. We show that, in the "old minimal" formulations of these theories, when going on-shell…
