Dissolving N=4 loop amplitudes into QCD tree amplitudes
Radu Roiban, Marcus Spradlin, Anastasia Volovich
We use the infrared consistency of one-loop amplitudes in N=4 Yang-Mills theory to derive a compact analytic formula for a tree-level NNMHV gluon scattering amplitude in QCD, the f…
A Pendant for Polya: The One-Loop Partition Function of N=4 SYM on R x S^3
Marcus Spradlin, Anastasia Volovich
We study weakly coupled SU(N) N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory on R x S^3 at infinite N, which has interesting thermodynamics, including a Hagedorn transition, even at zero Yang-Mills…
Two-Loop Partition Function in the Planar Plane-Wave Matrix Model
Marcus Spradlin, Mark Van Raamsdonk, Anastasia Volovich
We perform two independent calculations of the two-loop partition function for the large N 't Hooft limit of the plane-wave matrix model, conjectured to be dual to the decoupled li…
On the Tree-Level S-Matrix of Yang-Mills Theory
Radu Roiban, Marcus Spradlin, Anastasia Volovich
In this note we further investigate the procedure for computing tree-level amplitudes in Yang-Mills theory from connected instantons in the B-model on P^{3|4}, emphasizing that the…
