abstract

In this paper we provide a detailed account of our calculation, briefly reported in arXiv:2209.09263, of a two-particle form factor of the lowest components of the stress-tensor multiplet in N=4 sYM theory on its Coulomb branch, which is interpreted as an off-shell kinematical regime. We demonstrate that up to three-loop order, both its infrared-divergent as well as finite parts do exponentiate in the Sudakov regime, with the coefficient accompanying the double logarithm being determined by the octagon anomalous dimension $\Gamma_{\rm oct}$. We also observe that up to this order in 't Hooft coupling the logarithm of the Sudakov form factor is identical to twice the logarithm of the null octagon, which was introduced within the context of integrability-based computation of four point correlators with infinitely large R-charges. The null octagon is known in a closed form for all values of the 't Hooft coupling constant and kinematical parameters. We conjecture that the relation between the former and the off-shell Sudakov form factor holds to all loop orders.

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A bootstrap using soft and collinear limits fixes the tree-level form factor squared in planar N=4 SYM up to N=6, unifying loop integrands from two-point master diagrams.

  2. Off-shell form factor: factorization is violated

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    At three loops, the off-shell Sudakov form factor in N=4 super Yang-Mills on the Coulomb branch violates multiplicative hard-collinear-ultrasoft factorization, with collinear and ultrasoft modes intertwined.

    Three-loop five-point master integrals in N=4 SYM are evaluated via DCI-preserving regularization, cross-ratio factorization, and selective IBP/HyperInt reduction on 82 regions.
