Four - point functions in N = 4 supersymmetric Yang - Mills theory at two loops

چکیده
Four-point functions of gauge-invariant operators in D = 4, N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory are studied using N = 2 harmonic superspace perturbation theory. The results are expressed in terms of differential operators acting on a scalar two loop integral. The leading singular behaviour is obtained in the limit that two of the points approach one another. We find logarithmic singularities which do not cancel out in the sum of all diagrams. It is confirmed that Green's functions of analytic operators are indeed analytic at this order in perturbation theory.

Based on the AdS/CFT correspondence, string theory has given exact predictions for circular Wilson loops in U (N) N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory to all orders in a 1/N expansion. These Wilson loops can also be derived from Random Matrix Theory. In this paper we show that the result is generically insensitive to details of the Random Matrix Theory potential. We also compute all higher k-...

متن کاملIteration of Planar Amplitudes in Maximally Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory at Three Loops and Beyond
We compute the leading-color (planar) three-loop four-point amplitude of N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in 4 − 2ǫ dimensions, as a Laurent expansion about ǫ = 0 including the finite terms. The amplitude was constructed previously via the unitarity method, in terms of two Feynman loop integrals, one of which has been evaluated already. Here we use the Mellin-Barnes integration technique ...
متن کاملTwo - Loop Polygon Wilson Loops in N = 4 SYM
We compute for the first time the two-loop corrections to arbitrary n-gon lightlike Wilson loops in N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, using efficient numerical methods. The calculation is motivated by the remarkable agreement between the finite part of planar six-point MHV amplitudes and hexagon Wilson loops which has been observed at two loops. At n = 6 we confirm that the ABDK/BDS ansat...
