Dyson equations for correlators of Wilson loops

Diego Correa, Pablo Pisani, Alan Rios Fukelman +1

By considering a Gaussian truncation of super Yang-Mills, we derive a set of Dyson equations that account for the ladder diagram contribution to connected correlators…

Non-Abelian gauged supergravities as double copies

Marco Chiodaroli, Murat Gunaydin, Henrik Johansson +1

Scattering amplitudes have the potential to provide new insights to the study of supergravity theories with gauged R-symmetry and Minkowski vacua. Such gaugings break supersymmetry…

Quantum Corrections to Central Charges and Supersymmetric Casimir Energy in AdS/CFT

Arash Arabi Ardehali, Finn Larsen, James T. Liu +1

We study the Casimir energy of bulk fields in AdS and its relation to subleading terms in the central charge of the dual CFT. Computing both sides of the standard CFT r…
