abstract:

We study non-planar corrections to gluon scattering amplitudes in N = 4 SYM theory. In this talk, we focus on the first correction. It is computed by the double trace amplitude and is suppressed by one power of 1/Nc with respect to the leading single trace contribution. We extend the duality between planar scattering amplitudes and null polygonal Wilson loops to the double trace amplitude. The new duality allows us to extend the notion of loop integrand beyond the planar limit and to determine it using recursion relation. It also allows us to apply the integrability pentagon approach to the first non-planar order. We shortly discuss higher orders in the 't Hooft 1/Nc expansion.
