Title: Non-perturbative Methods for Planar N=4 SYM at Conformal Point
Abstract: In this pedagogical talk, we discuss non-perturbative methods for studying planar N=4 SYM theory. Focusing on the four-point correlation function of the stress-energy tensor at the conformal point, we introduce sum rules derived from dispersion relations. By combining these sum rules with integrated constraints from supersymmetric localization and input from integrability, we set up a numerical bootstrap problem that yields rigorous, two-sided bounds on OPE coefficients, the four-point correlation function, and the energy-energy correlator (EEC) at any coupling in the planar limit. We present and discuss some of these bounds in this talk.
About Particle Physics Theory seminars
The Particle Physics Theory seminar is a weekly series of talks reflecting the diverse interests of the group. Topics include analytic and numerical calculations based on the Standard Model of elementary particle physics, theories exploring new physics, as well as more formal developments in gauge theories and gravity..
