Tracing Transcendentality in Protected Correlators of N=4 SYM
Marco S. Bianchi
We study two-point functions of protected scalar operators in N=4 SYM, focusing on their transcendentality properties in dimensional reduction, where quantum corrections are sublea…
Strong coupling dynamics of defect RG flows in ABJM
Marco S. Bianchi, Luigi Castiglioni, Silvia Penati +2
Wilson loop operators in ABJM theory provide a rich arena for studying defect conformal field theories (dCFTs) and the renormalization group (RG) flows connecting them. While these…
Framed defects in ABJ(M)
Marco S. Bianchi, Luigi Castiglioni, Silvia Penati +2
We investigate the role of framing in a family of 1/24 BPS Wilson loops in ABJ(M) theory, which define flows between 1/6 BPS and the 1/2 BPS superconformal fixed points. We analyze…
Framing fermionic Wilson loops in ABJ(M)
Marco S. Bianchi, Luigi Castiglioni, Silvia Penati +2
Framing plays a central role in the evaluation of Wilson loops in theories with Chern-Simons actions. In pure Chern-Simons theory, it guarantees topological invariance, while in th…
