Transcendentality and Crossing
read the original abstract
We discuss possible phase factors for the S-matrix of planar N=4 gauge theory, leading to modifications at four-loop order as compared to an earlier proposal. While these result in a four-loop breakdown of perturbative BMN-scaling, Kotikov-Lipatov transcendentality in the universal scaling function for large-spin twist operators may be preserved. One particularly natural choice, unique up to one constant, modifies the overall contribution of all terms containing odd zeta functions in the earlier proposed scaling function based on a trivial phase. Excitingly, we present evidence that this choice is non-perturbatively related to a recently conjectured crossing-symmetric phase factor for perturbative string theory on AdS_5xS^5 once the constant is fixed to a particular value. Our proposal, if true, might therefore resolve the long-standing AdS/CFT discrepancies between gauge and string theory.

In the classical strong-coupling regime, half-BPS correlation functions in planar N=4 SYM exponentiate under the hexagon formalism and are governed by TBA equations structurally equivalent to Gaiotto-Moore-Neitzke equ...

Strong coupling structure of $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM observables with matrix Bessel kernel
Reorganizing the transseries of matrix Bessel kernel determinants at strong coupling yields a simple structure where non-perturbative corrections are directly determined by the perturbative series for N=4 SYM observables.
