Quantum Spectral Curve for PlanarN=4Super-Yang-Mills Theory

Abstract: We present a new formalism, alternative to the old thermodynamic-Bethe-ansatz-like approach, for solution of the spectral problem of planar N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. It takes a concise form of a nonlinear matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem in terms of a few Q functions. We demonstrate the formalism for two types of observables--local operators at weak coupling and cusped Wilson lines in a near Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield limit.

“…In this paper we study this important observable Ω(λ, θ) intensively using the integrability-based Quantum Spectral Curve method introduced for local operators in [13,14] and generalized for a subclass of Wilson lines in [15]. We show how the results of [15] can be used to get a closed system of equations describing Ω(λ, θ) exactly in the whole range of the parameters λ and θ.…”

“…the coefficients for the strong coupling expansion ofΦ NP p,q (g). In figure 6 we show how well, at large n, the perturbative coefficients c (n) p,q can be approximated by even their leading asymptotic expansion 8) and also how one could numerically extrapolate even the subleading corrections, c 4 (p, q), c 5 (p, q), etc., shown in (7.6). The formula (7.6) allows us to obtain an explicit formula for the polynomials c L (p, q) by comparing the large n asymptotic expansion of the coefficients c Figure 6.…”

“…Although it lacks more recent updates, a good review with an extensive list of references is [1]. A more recent development not covered in [1] is the the Quantum Spectral Curve method [2,3]. For some of its applications, including higher loop computations, see [4][5][6][7][8][9].…”
