Using associativity constraints from OPE bootstrapping, the authors give evidence for a one-parameter W-algebra W∞^{s,s} that conjecturally truncates to the VOA of 4d N=4 SU(N) super Yang-Mills at c = -3(N²-1).

abstract
Certain two and three point functions of gauge invariant primary operators of ${\cal N}=4$ SYM are computed in ${\cal N}=1$ superspace keeping all the $\th$-components. This allows one to read off many component descendent correlators. Our results show the only possible $g^2_{YM}$ corrections to the free field correlators are contact terms. Therefore they vanish for operators at separate points, verifying the known non-renormalization theorems. This also implies the results are consistent with ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetry even though the Lagrangian we use has only ${\cal N}=1$ manifest supersymmetry. We repeat some of the calculations using supersymmetric Landau gauge and obtain, as expected, the same results as those of supersymmetric Feynman gauge.

A universal W-algebra for N=4 super Yang-Mills
Using associativity constraints from OPE bootstrapping, the authors give evidence for a one-parameter W-algebra W∞^{s,s} that conjecturally truncates to the VOA of 4d N=4 SU(N) super Yang-Mills at c = -3(N²-1).
