Three-point functions in N=4{\cal N}=4 SYM: the hexagon proposal at three loops

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

Basso, Komatsu and Vieira recently proposed an all-loop framework for the computation of three-point functions of single-trace operators of N=4{\cal N}=4 super-Yang-Mills, the "hexagon program". This proposal results in several remarkable predictions, including the three-point function of two protected operators with an unprotected one in the SU(2)SU(2) and SL(2)SL(2) sectors. Such predictions consist of an "asymptotic" part---similar in spirit to the asymptotic Bethe Ansatz of Beisert and Staudacher for two-point functions---as well as additional finite-size "wrapping" Lüscher-like corrections. The focus of this paper is on such wrapping corrections, which we compute at three-loops in the SL(2)SL(2) sector. The resulting structure constants perfectly match the ones obtained in the literature from four-point correlators of protected operators.
