We explain how the 't Hooft expansion of correlators of half-BPS operators can be resummed in a large-charge limit in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. The full correlator in the limit is given by a non-trivial function of two variables: One variable is the charge of the BPS operators divided by the square root of the number Nc of colors; the other variable is the octagon that contains all the 't Hooft coupling and spacetime dependence. At each genus g in the large Nc expansion, this function is a polynomial of degree 2g+2 in the octagon. We find several dual matrix model representations of the correlators in the large-charge limit. Amusingly, the number of colors in these matrix models is formally taken to zero in the relevant limit.

    A general two-loop formula is obtained for all n-point 10d null polygon correlators in planar N=4 SYM, expressed in a conformal-integral basis and verified numerically at 11 points.

    The strong-coupling transseries for matrix Bessel determinant observables is generated from its perturbative part by shifting a→a−Δ and replacing moments I_n, with all Stokes constants fixed by two recurrences.
