Expectation values of Wilson loops define the nonperturbative properties of the hot medium produced in heavy ion collisions that arise in the analysis of both radiative parton energy loss and quarkonium suppression. We use the AdS/CFT correspondence to calculate the expectation values of such Wilson loops in the strongly coupled plasma ofN = 4 super Yang-Mills (SYM) theory, allowing for the pos...

We compute the three-loop leading-colour corrections to Yang-Mills Regge trajectory and gluon impact factor. Conjecturing that, in analogy with $\mathcal{N}=4$ super (SYM), a suitable scheme $N_c$-subleading terms are absent from trajectory, we understand our result as first computation of pure gauge, or $n_f = 0$, part QCD trajectory. The results presented both for bare renormalised amplitudes...

Availability of normative patient outcome data may assist in designing experiments and estimating sample sizes. The purpose of this review was to determine normative ranges for colonic transit time (CTT), Patient Assessment of Constipation-Symptoms (PAC-SYM), and Patient Assessment of Constipation-Quality of Life (PAC-QOL) in adults diagnosed with functional constipation per Rome III guidelines...

An integrated correlator of four superconformal stress-tensor primaries $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills theory (SYM), originally obtained by localisation, is re-expressed as a two-dimensional lattice sum that manifestly invariant under $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ S-duality. This expression shown to satisfy novel Laplace equation in the complex coupling constant $\tau$ relates those $SU...
