abstract

We study the correlators of half-BPS protected operators in N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory, in the limit where the positions of the adjacent operators become light-like separated. We compute the loop corrections by means of Lagrangian insertions. The divergences resulting from the light-cone limit are regularized by changing the dimension of the integration measure over the insertion points. Switching from coordinates to dual momenta, we show that the logarithm of the correlator is identical with twice the logarithm of the matching MHV gluon scattering amplitude. We present a number of examples of this new relation, at one and two loops.

Leading singularities and chambers of Correlahedron

hep-th · 2025-05-14 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Four-loop four-point correlator integrand in planar N=4 SYM decomposes into chamber forms identical to three loops times local integrands, with leading singularities as linear combinations of those forms and a diagonalized pure-function representation including one pure elliptic integrand.
