Kings College 15 Oct. 2008 L. Dixon Gluon Scattering in N=4 SYM Gluon Scattering in N=4 Super-Yang-Mills Theoryfrom Weak to Strong Coupling Lance Dixon (SLAC) work with Z. Bern, M. Czakon, D. Kosower, R. Roiban, V. Smirnov, M. Spradlin, C. Vergu, A. Volovich London Triangle String Seminar, King’s College 15 October 2008 N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory Planar N=4 SYM and AdS/CFT In the ’t Hooft limit, fixed, planar diagrams dominate AdS/CFT duality suggests that weak-coupling perturbation series in l for large-Nc (planar) N=4 SYM should have special properties, because large l limit ?? weakly-coupled gravity/string theory on AdS5 x S5 AdS/CFT in one picture Gluon scattering in N=4 SYM A proposal Dimensional Regulation in the IR Dual Conformal Invariance Regge / high-energy behavior Study limits with large rapidity separations between final-state gluons Everything consistent with Regge/BFKL factorization for n=4,5. BNST, DDG find consistency for n5, but BLS-V (looking closer) do not, at n=6 Scattering at strong coupling Dual variables and strong coupling Cusps in the solution The full solution Dual variables and Wilson lines at weak coupling Dual variables and Wilson lines at weak coupling (cont.) Dual variables and Wilson lines at weak coupling (cont.) ? Compute (parity-even part of) two-loop 6-point amplitude Two loop n=6 amplitude What is R6(2) ? What is R6(2) ? (cont.) What is R6(2) ? (cont.) All orders in other theories? N=2 SCFT Iteration? Four-gluon scattering in N=2 SCFT Four gluons at two loops in N=2 SCFT N=2 SCFT four-gluon two-loop poles N=2 SCFT four-gluon two-loop finite terms N=2 SCFT implications? Two-loop directly for n=5 “known” to all orders Pinning down Assuming dual conformal invariance (possessed also by ABDK/BDS ansatz), first possible nontrivial “remainder” function, for MHV amplitudes or for Wilson lines, is at n=6, where “cross-ratios” appear.
