Abstract Celestial amplitude is a new reformulation of momentum space scattering amplitudes and offers a promising way for flat holography. In this paper, we study the celestial amplitudes in $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 Super-Yang-Mills (SYM) theory aiming at understanding the role of superconformal symmetry in celestial holography. We first construct the superconformal generators acting on the celestial superfield which assembles all the on-shell fields in the multiplet together in terms of celestial variables and Grassmann parameters. These generators satisfy the superconformal algebra of $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 SYM theory. We also compute the three-point and four-point celestial super-amplitudes explicitly. They can be identified as the conformal correlation functions of the celestial superfields living at the celestial sphere. We further study the soft and collinear limits which give rise to the super-Ward identity and super-OPE on the celestial sphere, respectively. Our results initiate a new perspective of understanding the well-studied $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 SYM amplitudes via 2D celestial conformal field theory.

Abstract The exact expressions for integrated maximal U(1)Y violating (MUV) n-point correlators in SU(N) $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory are determined. The analysis generalises previous results on the integrated correlator of four superconformal primaries and is based on supersymmetric localisation. The integrated correlators are functions of N and τ = θ/(2π) + 4πi/$$ {g}_{YM}^2 $$ g YM 2 , and are expressed as two-dimensional lattice sums that are modular forms with holomorphic and anti-holomorphic weights (w, −w) where w = n − 4. The correlators satisfy Laplace-difference equations that relate the SU(N+1), SU(N) and SU(N−1) expressions and generalise the equations previously found in the w = 0 case. The correlators can be expressed as infinite sums of Eisenstein modular forms of weight (w, −w). For any fixed value of N the perturbation expansion of this correlator is found to start at order ($$ {g}_{YM}^2 $$ g YM 2 N)w. The contributions of Yang-Mills instantons of charge k > 0 are of the form qkf(gYM), where q = e2πiτ and f(gYM) = O($$ {g}_{YM}^{-2w} $$ g YM − 2 w ) when $$ {g}_{YM}^2 $$ g YM 2 ≪ 1. Anti-instanton contributions have charge k < 0 and are of the form $$ {\overline{q}}^{\left|k\right|}\hat{f}\left({g}_{YM}\right) $$ q ¯ k f ̂ g YM , where $$ \hat{f}\left({g}_{YM}\right)=O\left({g}_{YM}^{2w}\right) $$ f ̂ g YM = O g YM 2 w when $$ {g}_{YM}^2 $$ g YM 2 ≪ 1. Properties of the large-N expansion are in agreement with expectations based on the low energy expansion of flat-space type IIB superstring amplitudes. We also comment on the identification of n-point free-field MUV correlators with the integrands of (n − 4)-loop perturbative contributions to the four-point correlator. In particular, we emphasise the important rôle of SL(2, ℤ)-covariance in the construction.

A geometrical derivation of the Faddeev-Popov measure is presented. This derivation is valid in any gauge for a general class of gauge theories, including Yang-Mills theory, gravitation and non-linear sigma models, and can easily be generalized to include supersymmetric theories. We stress the role of a non-trivial, finite contribution to the effective action from the invariant measure on the orbit over each point in the physical configuration space.

At high temperatures the A0 component of the Yang–Mills field plays the role of the Higgs field, and the one-loop potential V(A0) plays the role of the Higgs potential. We find a new stable vortex solution of the Abrikosov–Nielsen–Olesen type, and discuss its properties and possible implications.

Using canonical methods, we study the invariance properties of a bosonic p-brane propagating in a curved background locally diffeomorphic to M×G, where M is space-time and G a group manifold. The action is that of a gauged sigma model in p+1 dimensions coupled to a Yang-Mills field and a (p+1) form in M. We construct the generators of Yang-Mills and tensor gauge transformations and exhibit the role of the (p+1) form in canceling the potential Schwinger terms. We also discuss the Noether currents associated with the global symmetries of the action and the question of the existence of infinite-dimensional symmetry algebras, analogous to the Kac-Moody symmetry of the string.

The One

The infrared behavior of Yang–Mills theory at finite temperature provides access to the role of confinement. In this review recent results on this topic from lattice calculations and especially Dyson–Schwinger studies are discussed. These indicate persistence of a residual confinement even in the high-temperature phase. The confinement mechanism is very similar to the one in the vacuum for the chromomagnetic sector. In the chromoelectric sector screening occurs at the soft scale g2T, although not leading to a perturbative behavior.

The algebra of octonions 𝕆 forms the largest normed division algebra over the real numbers ℝ, complex numbers ℂ and quaternions ℍ. The usual three-dimensional vector product is given by quaternions, while octonions produce seven-dimensional vector product. Thus, octonionic algebra is closely related to the seven-dimensional algebra, therefore one can extend generalization of rotations in three dimensions to seven dimensions using octonions. An explicit algebraic description of octonions has been given to describe rotational transformation in seven-dimensional space. We have also constructed a gauge theory based on non-associative algebra to discuss Yang–Mills theory and field equation in seven-dimensional space.

Dual Action

We extend some results and concepts of single-time covariant Hamiltonian field theory to the new context of multitime covariant Hamiltonian theory. In this sense, we point out the role of the polysymplectic structureδ⊗J, we prove that the dual action is indefinite, we find the eigenvalues and the eigenfunctions of the operator(δ⊗J)(∂/∂t)with periodic boundary conditions, and we obtain interesting inequalities relating functionals created by the new context. As an important example for physics and differential geometry, we study the multitime Yang-Mills-Witten Hamiltonian, extending the Legendre transformation in a suitable way. Our original results are accompanied by well-known relations between Lagrangian and Hamiltonian, and by geometrical explanations regarding the Yang-Mills-Witten Lagrangian.

Various recently developed connections between supersymmetric Yang–Mills theories in four dimensions and two-dimensional integrable systems serve as crucial ingredients in improving our understanding of the AdS/CFT correspondence. In this review, we highlight some connections between superconformal four-dimensional Yang–Mills theory and various integrable systems. In particular, we focus on the role of Yangian symmetries in studying the gauge theory dual of closed string excitations. We also briefly review how the gauge theory connects to Calogero models and open quantum spin chains through the study of the gauge theory duals of D3 branes and open strings ending on them. This invited review is based on a seminar given at the Institute of Advanced Study, Princeton.
