Conformal Dimensions of Two-Derivative BMN Operators
نویسنده
چکیده
We compute the anomalous dimensions of BMN operators with two covariant derivative impurities at the planar level up to first order in the effective coupling λ′. The result equals those for two scalar impurities as well as for mixed scalar and vector impurities given in the literature. Though the results are the same, the computation is very different from the scalar case. This is basically due to the existence of a non-vanishing overlap between the derivative impurity and the “background” field Z. We present details of these differences and their consequences.

BMN Correlators and Operator Mixing in N = 4 Super Yang - Mills Theory
Correlation functions in perturbative N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory are examined in the Berenstein-Maldacena-Nastase (BMN) limit. We demonstrate that non-extremal four-point functions of chiral primary fields are ill-defined in that limit. This lends support to the assertion that only gauge theoretic two-point functions should be compared to pp-wave strings. We further refine the analy...
متن کاملVector operators in the BMN correspondence
We consider a BMN operator with one scalar, φ and one vector, DμZ, impurity field and compute the anomalous dimension both at planar and torus levels. This mixed operator corresponds to a string state with two creation operators which belong to different SO(4) sectors of the background. The anomalous dimension at both levels is found to be the same as the scalar impurity BMN operator. At planar...
متن کاملBMN Correspondence at Finite J/N
Employing the string bit formalism of hep-th/0209215, we identify the basis transformation that relates BMN operators in N = 4 gauge theory to string states in the dual string field theory at finite g2 = J 2/N . In this basis, the supercharge truncates at linear order in g2, and the mixing amplitude between 1 and 2-string states precisely matches with the (corrected) answer of hep-th/0206073 fo...
متن کاملPredictions for PP-wave string amplitudes from perturbative SYM
The role of general two-impurity multi-trace operators in the BMN correspondence is explored. Surprisingly, the anomalous dimensions of all two-impurity multi-trace BMN operators to order g 2λ ′ are completely determined in terms of single-trace anomalous dimensions. This is due to suppression of connected field theory diagrams in the BMN limit and this fact has important implications for some ...
متن کاملBMN Operators and Superconformal Symmetry
Implications of N = 4 superconformal symmetry on Berenstein-MaldacenaNastase (BMN) operators with two charge defects are studied both at finite charge J and in the BMN limit. We find that all of these belong to a single long supermultiplet explaining a recently discovered degeneracy of anomalous dimensions on the sphere and torus. The lowest dimensional component is an operator of naive dimensi...
