Semiclassics, branes, and extremality
Adolfo Holguin
We revisit the problem of computing extremal and non-extremal three point functions of semiclassical probes with single trace operators and point out certain inconsistencies in pre…
Integrability and Conformal Blocks for Surface Defects in SYM
Adolfo Holguin, Hiroki Kawai
We study various aspects of half-BPS surface defect operators in SYM. For defects on generic points on the moduli space we use superconformal symmetry to fix the fo…
Boundary Integrability from the Fuzzy Three Sphere
Tamas Gombor, Adolfo Holguin
We consider invariant matrix product states (MPS) in the symmetric integrable spin chain and prove their integrability. These MPS appear as fuzz…
(Un)solvable Matrix Models for BPS Correlators
Prokopii Anempodistov, Adolfo Holguin, Vladimir Kazakov +1
We propose and study a family of complex matrix models computing the protected two- and three-point correlation functions in SYM. Our description allows us to direc…
Integrable Conformal Defects in N=4 SYM
Marius de Leeuw, Adolfo Holguin
In this paper we classify integrable conformal defects in N=4 SYM theory for which the scalar fields pick up a non-trivial vacuum expectation value. Defects of this form correspond…
