چکیده

It is known that the Yangian of PSU(2,2|4) is a symmetry of the tree-level S matrix of N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. On the other hand, the complete one-loop dilatation operator in the same theory commutes with the level-one Yangian generators only up to certain boundary terms found by Dolan, Nappi, and Witten. Using a result by Zwiebel, we show how the Yangian symmetry of the tree-level S matrix of N=4 super Yang-Mills theory implies precisely the Yangian invariance, up to boundary terms, of the one-loop dilatation operator.

Yangian-invariant scattering amplitudes in supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory.

We propose a generating function for scattering amplitudes of N=6 supersymmetric-Chern-Simons theory, which parallels a recent work on N=4 supersymmetric-Yang-Mills theory by Arkani-Hamed et al. Our result suggests that the scattering amplitudes of the supersymmetric-Chern-Simons theory exhibit Yangian invariance.

Yangian Symmetry of Scattering Amplitudes in N = 4 super Yang-Mills Theory

Tree-level scattering amplitudes in N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory have recently been shown to transform covariantly with respect to a ‘dual’ superconformal symmetry algebra, thus extending the standard superconformal symmetry algebra psu(2, 2|4) of the theory. In this paper we derive the action of the dual superconformal generators in on-shell superspace and extend the dual generators suitably ...

Constructing Scattering Amplitudes Lecture 3: Twistors and N = 4 Supersymmetric Yang-Mills

The main theme of these lectures is the construction of scattering amplitudes from their singularities. We have seen how complex poles are used in the BCFW construction, and later on we will discover the use of branch cuts and related singularities for loop amplitudes. In this lecture, we take a step aside and consider the construction of amplitudes from their symmetries, incarnating the simpli...

From Amplitudes to Form Factors in the N=4 Sym Theory

In the past few years, much attention has been given to studying the planar limit for the scattering amplitudes in the N=4 supersymmetric Yang–Mills (SYM) theory. It is believed that the hidden symmetries responsible for integrability properties of the N=4 SYM theory completely fix the structure of the amplitudes (the S-matrix of the theory) [1]. In particular, this is manifested in the fact th...

Integrability in Yang-Mills theory on the light cone beyond leading order.

The one-loop dilatation operator in Yang-Mills theory possesses a hidden integrability symmetry in the sector of maximal-helicity Wilson operators. We calculate two-loop corrections to the dilatation operator and demonstrate that, while integrability is broken for matter in the fundamental representation of the SU(3) gauge group, for the ajoint SU(N(c)) matter it survives the conformal symmetry...
