چکیده

We continue the analysis of hep-th/0303060 in the one-loop sector and present the complete psu(2, 2|4) dilatation operator of N = 4 Super Yang-Mills theory. This operator generates the matrix of one-loop anomalous dimensions for all local operators in the theory. Using an oscillator representation we show how to apply the dilatation generator to a generic state. By way of example, we determine the planar anomalous dimensions of all operators up to and including dimension 5.5, where we also find some evidence for integrability. Finally, we investigate a number of subsectors of N = 4 SYM in which the dilatation operator simplifies. Among these we find the previously considered so(6) and su(2) subsectors, a su(2|4) subsector isomorphic to the BMN matrix model at one-loop, a su(2|3) supersymmetric subsector of nearly eighth-BPS states and, last but not least, a non-compact sl(2) subsector whose dilatation operator lifts uniquely to the full theory.

Yangian Symmetry of Scattering Amplitudes and the Dilatation Operator in N=4 Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory.

It is known that the Yangian of PSU(2,2|4) is a symmetry of the tree-level S matrix of N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. On the other hand, the complete one-loop dilatation operator in the same theory commutes with the level-one Yangian generators only up to certain boundary terms found by Dolan, Nappi, and Witten. Using a result by Zwiebel, we show how the Yangian symmetry of the tree-level S matri...

Plane - wave Matrix Theory from N = 4 Super Yang - Mills on R ×

Recently a mass deformation of the maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills quantum mechanics has been constructed from the supermembrane action in eleven dimensional plane-wave backgrounds. However, the origin of this plane-wave matrix theory in terms of a compactification of a higher dimensional Super Yang-Mills model has remained obscure. In this paper we study the Kaluza-Klein reduction of D = 4...

The Dilatation Operator of N=4 Super Yang-Mills Theory and Integrability

The dilatation generator measures the scaling dimensions of local operators in a conformal field theory. In this thesis we consider the example of maximally supersymmetric gauge theory in four dimensions and develop and extend techniques to derive, investigate and apply the dilatation operator. These tools are perfectly suited for precision tests of the dynamical AdS/CFT conjecture. In particul...

A Twistorial Approach to Integrability in N = 4 SYM

While the achievements in the study of N = 4 Super Yang-Mills through the application of integrability are impressive, the precise origins of the exact solvability remain shrouded in mystery. In this note, we propose that viewing the problem through the lens of twistor theory should help to clarify the reasons for integrability. We illustrate the power of this approach by rederiving the model’s...

Integrability in Yang-Mills theory on the light cone beyond leading order.

The one-loop dilatation operator in Yang-Mills theory possesses a hidden integrability symmetry in the sector of maximal-helicity Wilson operators. We calculate two-loop corrections to the dilatation operator and demonstrate that, while integrability is broken for matter in the fundamental representation of the SU(3) gauge group, for the ajoint SU(N(c)) matter it survives the conformal symmetry...
