    On structure constants with two spinning twist-two operators

    Get PDF
    I consider three-point functions of one protected and two unprotected twist-two operators with spin in N=4 SYM at weak coupling. At one loop I formulate an empiric conjecture for the dependence of the corresponding structure constants on the spins of the operators. Using such an ansatz and some input from explicit perturbative results, I fix completely various infinite sets of one-loop structure constants of these three-point functions. Finally, I determine the two-loop corrections to the structure constants for a few fixed values of the spins of the operators.Comment: 21 page

    A note on three-point functions of unprotected operators

    Get PDF
    Given the recent progress in computing three-point functions in N=4 SYM via integrability, I provide here a novel direct calculation of some structure constants at weak coupling. The main focus is on correlators involving more than one unprotected operator, at two-loop order in the perturbative expansion.Comment: 17 page

    ABJM θ\theta-Bremsstrahlung at four loops and beyond

    Full text link
    In ABJ(M) theory a generalized cusp can be constructed out of the 1/6 BPS Wilson line by introducing an angle φ\varphi in the spacial contour and/or an angle θ\theta in the internal R-symmetry space. The small angles limits of its anomalous dimension are controlled by corresponding Bremsstrahlung functions. In this note we compute the internal space θ\theta-Bremsstrahlung function to four loops at weak coupling in the planar limit. Based on this result, we propose an all order conjecture for the θ\theta-Bremsstrahlung function.Comment: 40 pages; v2: references added, JHEP published extended versio

    ABJM θ\theta-Bremsstrahlung at four loops and beyond: non-planar corrections

    Full text link
    We consider the Bremsstrahlung function associated to a 1/6-BPS Wilson loop in ABJM theory, with a cusp in the couplings to scalar fields. We non-trivially extend its recent four-loop computation at weak coupling to include non-planar corrections. We have recently proposed a conjecture relating this object to supersymmetric circular Wilson loops with multiple windings, which can be computed via localization. We find agreement between this proposal and the perturbative computation of the Bremsstrahlung function, including color sub-leading corrections. This supports the conjecture and hints at its validity beyond the planar approximation.Comment: 22 page

    On the ABJM four-point amplitude at three loops and BDS exponentiation

    Full text link
    We study the three-loop four-point amplitude in ABJM theory. We determine the dual conformal invariant integrals with highest number of propagators and fix their coefficients by two-particle cuts. Evaluating such a combination of integrals in dimensional regularization we provide evidence for exponentiation of the amplitude, including the finite terms. In addition we show that the three-loop amplitude can be expressed in terms of classical polylogarithms of uniform degree of transcendentality.Comment: 31 pages, 4 figure
