    We consider a theory of scalar superfields in two dimensions with arbitrary superpotential. By imposing no particle production in tree level scattering, we constrain the form of the admissible interactions, recovering a supersymmetric extension of the sinh-Gordon model

    Two loop five point integrals: light, heavy and large spin correlators

    We evaluated all two loop conformal integrals appearing in five point correlation functions of protected operators of N=4\mathcal{N} = 4 Super Yang-Mills in several kinematical regimes. Starting from the correlation function of the lightest operators of the theory, we were able to extract structure constants of up to two spinning operators for small and large values of polarizations and spin. We conjectured an universal all loop behaviour for the large spin small polarization structure constants and comment on the subtleties of analytically continuing it from finite to large spin. We also consider correlation functions of heavier operators that get factorized in the more fundamental object called decagon. We fixed this object at two loops in general kinematics and studied its physical properties under OPE and null limits.Comment: 34 pages, 2 figures, 6 auxiliary file

    Spinning Hexagons

    Full text link
    We reduce the computation of three point function of three spinning operators with arbitrary polarizations to a statistical mechanics problem via the hexagon formalism. The central building block of these correlation functions is the hexagon partition function. We explore its analytic structure and use it to generate perturbative data for spinning three point functions. For certain polarizations and any coupling, we express the full asymptotic three point function in determinant form. With the integrability approach established we open the ground to study the large spin limit where dualities with null Wilson loops and integrable pentagons must appear.Comment: 40 pages, 14 figure

    Esta dissertação de mestrado consiste de uma revisão sobre teorias quânticas de campos integráveis em duas dimensões, explorando tanto aspectos clássicos como aspectos quânticos dessas teorias munidas de infinitas cargas conservadas. Em nível clássico, consideramos uma teoria de supercampos escalares em duas dimensões com superpotencial arbitrário. Através da imposição da não produção de partículas a nível-árvore, restringimos a forma das interações adimissíveis, recuperando uma extensão supersimétrica do modelo de sinh-Gordon, o qual é provado ser integrável não somente através da obtenção do conjunto infinito de cargas conservadas, mas também através de S-matrix bootstrap. Ainda no nível clássico também mostramos uma profunda relação entre as Toda theories e os conformal minimal models, a qual se estende para nível quântico onde obtemos uma família de fluxos de renormalização entre os unitary conformal minimal models conhecida como staircase model.This master thesis is an overview of integrability in two-dimensional field theories. We explore both classical and quantum aspects of these theories which are characterized by infinitely many conserved charges. At the classical level, we consider a theory of scalar superfields in two dimensions with arbitrary superpotential. By imposing no particle production in tree-level scattering, we constrain the form of the admissible interactions, recovering a supersymmetric extension of the sinh-Gordon model. This model is proven to be integrable not only by explicitly finding the infinite set of conserved charges but also via the S-matrix bootstrap. We also show a deep relation between Affine Toda theories and conformal minimal models, that extends to the quantum level, where we find a family of integrable renormalization group flows between the unitary conformal minimal models, known as the staircase model
