Yangian symmetry, GKZ equations and integrable Feynman graphs

Regular Seminar Fedor Levkovich-Maslyuk (City University London)

at:
14:00 KCL
room K3.11
abstract:

We extend the powerful property of Yangian invariance to a new large class of conformally invariant multi-loop Feynman integrals. This leads to new highly constraining differential equations for them, making integrability visible at the level of individual Feynman graphs. Our results apply to planar Feynman diagrams in any spacetime dimension dual to an arbitrary network of intersecting straight lines on a plane (Baxter lattice), with propagator powers determined by the geometry. The graphs we consider determine correlators in the recently proposed "loom" fishnet CFTs. The construction unifies and greatly extends the known special cases of Yangian invariance to likely the most general family of integrable scalar planar graphs. We also relate these equations in certain cases to famous GKZ (Gelfand-Kapranov-Zelevinsky) hypergeometric operators, opening the way to using new powerful solution methods.

A review of the AdS/CFT Quantum Spectral Curve

Journal Club Fedor Levkovich-Maslyuk (ENS Paris)

room online seminar
abstract:

I will give an introduction to the Quantum Spectral Curve in AdS/CFT. This is an integrability-based framework which provides the exact spectrum of planar N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory (and of the dual string model) in terms of a solution of a Riemann-Hilbert problem for a finite set of functions. I review the underlying QQ-relations starting from simple spin chain examples, and describe the special features arising for AdS/CFT. I will also present some pedagogical examples to show the framework in action. Lastly I will briefly discuss its recent applications for correlation functions. Based on the review arXiv:1911.13065. NOTE: online seminar using Zoom. Please register to the mailing list on integrability-london.weebly.com to participate.

Towards Structure Constants in N=4 SYM via Quantum Spectral Curve

Regular Seminar Fedor Levkovich-Maslyuk (Ecole Normale Superieure, Paris)

at:
14:00 IC
room H503
abstract:

The Quantum Spectral Curve (QSC) is a powerful integrability-based framework capturing the exact spectrum of planar N=4 SYM. We present first evidence that it should also play an important role for computing exact correlation functions. We compute the correlator of 3 scalar local operators connected by Wilson lines forming a triangle in the ladders limit, and show that it massively simplifies when written in terms of the QSC. The final all-loop result takes a very compact form, suggesting its interpretation via Sklyanin's separation of variables (SoV). We discuss work in progress on extending these results to local operators. We also derive, for the first time, the SoV scalar product measure for gl(N) compact and noncompact spin chains. Based on arXiv:1910.13442, 1907.03788, 1802.0423.
