The operator algebra in this sector is isomorphic to a truncation of the Yangian $\\mathcal{Y}(\\mathfrak{gl}_n)$. The correlators, encoded in a trace on the Yangian, are controlled by the inhomogeneous $\\mathfrak{sl}_n$ spin chain, where $n$ is the number of fivebranes: they are given in terms of matrix elements of transfer matrices associated to Verma modules, or equivalently of products of Baxter's Q-operators. This can be viewed as a novel connection between the $\\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills and integrable spin chains. We also remark on analogous constructions involving half-BPS Wilson lines.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-09-23T15:00:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "correlators", "super yang-mills", "half-bps wilson lines", "correlation functions", "integrable spin chains" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 48, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
