abstract

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 conventional 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 to leave scattering amplitudes invariant. We then study the algebra of standard and dual symmetry generators and show that the inclusion of the dual superconformal generators lifts the psu(2,2|4) symmetry algebra to a Yangian. The non-local Yangian generators acting on amplitudes turn out to be cyclically invariant due to special properties of psu(2,2|4). The representation of the Yangian generators takes the same form as in the case of local operators, suggesting that the Yangian symmetry is an intrinsic property of planar N=4 super Yang-Mills, at least at tree level.

Loops and legs: ABJM amplitudes from $f$-graphs

hep-th · 2026-01-29 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

ABJM amplitudes of arbitrary multiplicity and loop order can be reconstructed from squared amplitudes encoded in a permutation-symmetric generating function of planar f-graphs.

Yangian Symmetry Escapes from the Fishnet

hep-th · 2025-11-24 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0 · 2 refs

Yangian symmetry holds classically in fishnet models under restricted evaluation parameters but does not extend to generic quantum correlators in the bi-scalar model, with counterexamples indicating that non-zero dual Coxeter number blocks full quantum Yangian invariance.

The classical Yangian symmetry of Auxiliary Field Sigma Models

hep-th · 2026-05-18 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Generalizes the BIZZ recursive procedure and provides sufficient conditions under which auxiliary field deformations of integrable sigma models retain classical Yangian symmetry and Maillet bracket structure.
