New Integrable 4D Quantum Field Theories from Strongly Deformed Planar N=4 Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory.

TLDR
A family of new integrable quantum field theories in four dimensions is introduced by considering the γ-deformed N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory in the double scaling limit of large imaginary twists and small coupling, and an explicit conjecture is provided for the periods of double-wheel graphs with an arbitrary number of spokes in terms of multiple zeta values of limited depth.
Abstract
We introduce a family of new integrable quantum field theories in four dimensions by considering the $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-deformed $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory in the double scaling limit of large imaginary twists and small coupling. This limit discards the gauge fields and retains only certain Yukawa and scalar interactions with three arbitrary effective couplings. In the `t Hooft limit, these 4D theories are integrable, and contain a wealth of conformal correlators such that the whole arsenal of $\mathrm{AdS}/\mathrm{CFT}$ integrability remains applicable. As a special case of these models, we obtain a quantum field theory of two complex scalars with a chiral, quartic interaction. The Berenstein-Maldacena-Nastase vacuum anomalous dimension is dominated in each loop order by a single ``wheel'' graph, whose bulk represents an integrable ``fishnet'' graph. This explicitly demonstrates the all-loop integrability of gamma-deformed planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM theory, at least in our limit. Using this feature and integrability results we provide an explicit conjecture for the periods of double-wheel graphs with an arbitrary number of spokes in terms of multiple zeta values of limited depth.

The Conformal Bootstrap: Theory, Numerical Techniques, and Applications

TL;DR: Conformal field theories have been long known to describe the universal physics of scale invariant critical points as discussed by the authors, and they describe continuous phase transitions in fluids, magnets, and numerous other materials, while at the same time sit at the heart of our modern understanding of quantum field theory.

Hexagonalization of correlation functions

TL;DR: In this paper, a nonperturbative framework is proposed to study general correlation functions of single-trace operators in 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory at large N, where the decomposition is akin to a triangulation of a Riemann surface, and thus call it hexagonalization.

Integrability of conformal fishnet theory

TL;DR: The integrability of fishnet-type Feynman graphs arising in planar four-dimensional chiral theory was studied in this article, where it was shown that the transfer matrix for building the fishnet graphs emerges from the R−matrix of non-compact conformal SU(2, 2) Heisenberg spin chain with spins belonging to the principal series representations of the four dimensional conformal group.
