Summary: In this study, quantum corrections to the WKB periods of the (r + 1)-th order ordinary differential equation obtained through the conformal limit of the linear problem associated with the A(r)((1)) affine Toda field equation are computed using the Picard-Fuchs operators. The ODE/IM correspondence establishes a relationship between the Wronskians of the solutions and the Y-functions satisfying the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz (TBA) equation related to the Lie algebra A(r). A proposed formula demonstrates the equivalence between the logarithm of the Y-function and the WKB period for the quadratic potential, validated through numerical solutions of the TBA equation.

Summary: We study the four-point correlation functions of protected single-trace scalar operators in planar N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, and conjecture that all loop corrections originate from an integrand with a ten-dimensional symmetry. This symmetry combines spacetime and R-charge transformations. By considering a 10D light-like limit, we extend the correlator/amplitude duality by equating large R-charge octagons with Coulomb branch scattering amplitudes. Results from integrability predict new finite amplitudes and some Feynman integrals.

Summary: The paper presents a new recursive method for calculating the A-cycle period in N = 2 SYM models with antifundamental hypermultiplets, demonstrating its efficiency compared to standard techniques. Additionally, a numerical method for deriving the A-cycle period for arbitrary q values is suggested, with an analytic expression obtained for large q asymptotics when no hypermultiplets are present. The paper shows convincing agreement between this expression and the numerical approach.

Summary: In this paper, we analyze the Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz (TBA) for various integrable S-matrices in the context of generalized T(T)bar deformations, with a focus on the sinh-Gordon model and its elliptic deformation. We confirm that the determining factor for a turning point in the TBA is the difference between the number of bound states and resonances in the theory. By implementing a numerical method, we are able to follow the solutions to the TBA equations to the ultraviolet regime and find that the effective central charge tends to zero as the number of resonances approaches infinity. Additionally, we uncover a new family of UV complete integrable theories defined by the bosonic counterparts of the S-matrices.

Summary: This study investigates the spectrum of anomalous dimensions in planar N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and its deformations. It reveals that a specific deformation of the integrable N = 4 dilatation operator exhibits Wigner-Dyson level statistics at finite coupling but has slower cross-over to chaotic dynamics. For other deformations, it shows strong chaotic dynamics with a spectrum well described by random matrix theory.

Summary: In this study, we use the hexagon formalism to reduce the computation of three point function of three spinning operators with arbitrary polarizations in N = 4 SYM to a statistical mechanics problem. The hexagon partition function plays a central role in these correlation functions, and we explore its analytic structure and use it to generate perturbative data for spinning three point functions. For certain polarizations and any coupling, we express the full asymptotic three point function in determinant form. The establishment of the integrability approach allows us to study the large spin limit and investigate dualities with null Wilson loops and integrable pentagons.

Summary: The article revisits the leading irrelevant deformation of the N = 4 Super Yang-Mills theory and investigates the integrability of the spin-chain Hamiltonian in planar perturbation theory. While there are indications that a suitable deformation might preserve integrability, the two-loop calculation conducted by the authors did not settle this question. Accidental symmetry enhancement led to the recovery of the integrable Hamiltonian of undeformed N = 4 SYM up to this order.

Summary: This paper derives some star-triangle type relations from dualities in 2dN = (0, 2) USp(2N) supersymmetric quiver gauge theories, studying the Intriligator-Pouliot duality and a new duality with matter in the antisymmetric tensor representation. The results show different correlations for different values of N, and are compared with relations previously reported in the literature.

Summary: The passage discusses the set of protected operators in a six-dimensional N = (2, 0) SCFT whose correlation functions can be controlled by a two-dimensional chiral algebra. The alternative construction of this chiral algebra involves an Omega-deformation and equivariant integration to determine the central charge. Additionally, the construction is extended to include orbifolds of the R-4 transverse to the chiral algebra plane.

Summary: Through the use of supersymmetric localization, it is found that the N = 4 super-Yang-Mills (SYM) theory on unorientable spacetime manifold can be effectively captured by a two-dimensional bosonic Yang-Mills (YM) theory. This provides a foundation for understanding the relationship between the two theories.

Summary: This article investigates correlation functions of supersymmetrized determinant operators in self-dual super Yang-Mills theory. These correlation functions generate correlators of arbitrary single-trace half-BPS operators, including the loop integrand of the non-self-dual theory for appropriate Grassmann components. A novel twistor space representation for determinant operators is introduced, which connects with the recently studied m = 2 amplituhedron. By using matrix duality, the n-point determinant correlator is rewritten as an n x n matrix integral with the gauge group rank N-c becoming a coupling constant. The correlators are rational functions with denominators containing only ten-dimensional distances in the planar limit. Using this formulation, a recent conjecture regarding the ten-dimensional symmetry of the components with maximal Grassmann degree is verified, and new formulas for correlators of Grassmann degree four are obtained.

Summary: The note extends Conformal Regge theory to provide an exact OPE representation of Lorenzian four-point correlators in conformal field theory, even away from the Regge limit. This representation extends convergence of the OPE by rewriting it as a double integral over continuous spins and dimensions, and features a novel Regge block. The formula is tested in the conformal fishnet theory, where exact results involving nontrivial Regge trajectories are available.

Summary: The passage discusses the exploration of conformal bootstrap for n > 4 point correlation functions, focusing on the correlation functions of the lightest scalar gauge invariant operators in planar non-Abelian conformal gauge theories. By examining the consistency of OPE in the snowflake channel, the structure constants of up to three large spin operators can be strongly constrained. In the N = 4 theory, these structure constants are completely determined through the duality to null polygonal Wilson loops and the recent exploration of the hexagon origin limit.

Summary: The paper presents the tree-level five-point amplitude of the lowest Kaluza-Klein mode of super-Yang-Mills theory on AdS(5) x S-3, which is dual to the correlator of the flavor current multiplet in the dual 4d N = 2 superconformal field theory. The color and kinematical structure of the amplitude is simple and resembles that of the flat-space gluon amplitude.

Summary: This study focuses on higher-point functions of scalar operators in CFTs, exploring OPE data involving multiple spinning operators. The lightcone blocks for five- and six-point functions in the snowflake channel are derived and used to analyze these correlators in the lightcone limit. The large spin expansion of OPE coefficients involving two or three spinning operators is determined. Results are verified by comparing with the block decomposition of higher-point functions in generalized free theory and in theories with a cubic coupling.

Summary: This paper presents an improved algorithm for computing higher Kaluza-Klein mode correlators using factorization and a superconformal twist. By working entirely within Mellin space, the analytic structure of the holographic correlators becomes simpler. As a result, closed form expressions for all five-point functions of the form & LANGBRAC;pp222 & rang; are obtained, extending the previous result for p=2. In addition, explicit results for spinning four-point functions of higher Kaluza-Klein modes are also obtained as a byproduct of the analysis.

Summary: We compute the integrands of correlation functions of twenty-prime operators with general polarizations at the two-loop order and five-point function at three-loop order in N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory. We extract the two-loop four-point function of one Konishi operator and three twenty-prime operators using the operator product expansion. Two methods, ansatz and OPE decomposition, were used for computing the integrands. Our results are important for testing conjectures and making progress in the hexagonalization approach for correlation functions based on integrability.
