Universal and Transcendental Structures in Protected ABJM Two-Point Functions

Abstract

We consider two-loop corrections to two-point functions of protected scalar operators in ABJM theory. We infer a compact finite-rank formula valid for operators of arbitrary dimension and multi-trace structure. The result is governed by the exact tree-level metric and a simple kernel on the Young lattice, while the planar limit reduces to a simple partition-theoretic rule. The required integrals organize into uniformly transcendental combinations, providing evidence for uniform transcendentality of these protected two-point functions.
