From Scattering Amplitudes to the Dilatation Generator in N=4 SYM
The complete spin chain representation of the planar N=4 SYM dilatation
generator has long been known at one loop, where it involves leading
nearest-neighbor 2 -> 2 interactions. In this work we use superconformal
symmetry to derive the unique solution for the leading L -> 2 interactions of
the planar dilatation generator for arbitrarily large L. We then propose that
these interactions are given by the scattering operator that has N=4 SYM
tree-level scattering amplitudes as matrix elements. We provide compelling
evidence for this proposal, including explicit checks for L=2,3 and a proof of
consistency with superconformal symmetry.Comment: 39 pages, v2: reference added and minor changes, published versio
