Integrable Wilson loops in ABJM: a Y-system computation of the cusp anomalous dimension

Cusp anomalous dimension in maximally supersymmetric

This talk is mainly based on the work [1] performed in collaboration with B. Basso1 and G. Korchemsky1, where the method of strong coupling expansion of the cusp anomalous dimension was found. The cusp anomalous dimension [2], called also the cusp, is a physical observable, which appears in many branches of particle physics. It is related with the logarithmic growth of the anomalous dimensions ...

Three-loop Cusp Anomalous Dimension and a Conjecture for N Loops

Four-Loop Cusp Anomalous Dimension From Obstructions

Freddy Cachazo, ∗ Marcus Spradlin, † and Anastasia Volovich ‡ Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, Waterloo, Ontario N2J 2W9, Canada Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island 02912, USA Abstract We introduce a method for extracting the cusp anomalous dimension at L loops from four-gluon amplitudes inN = 4 Yang-Mills without evaluating any integrals that depend on the kinematical invari...

The three-loop cusp anomalous dimension in QCD

We present the full analytic result for the three-loop angle-dependent cusp anomalous dimension in QCD. With this result, infrared divergences of planar scattering processes with massive particles can be predicted to that order. Moreover, we define a closely related quantity in terms of an effective coupling defined by the light-like cusp anomalous dimension. We find evidence that this quantity...

Wilson loops and anomalous dimensions in cascading theories

We use light-like Wilson loops and the AdS/CFT correspondence to compute the anomalous dimensions of twist two operators in the cascading (Klebanov-Strassler) theory. The computation amounts to find a minimal surface in the UV region of the KS background which is described by the Klebanov-Tseytlin solution. The result is similar to the one for SU(N) N = 4 SYM but with N replaced by an effective...
