Novel Representation of an Integrated Correlator in N=4 Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory

Abstract

An integrated correlator of four superconformal stress-tensor primaries of N = 4 supersymmetric S U ( N ) Yang-Mills theory (SYM), originally obtained by localization, is reexpressed as a two-dimensional lattice sum that is manifestly invariant under S L ( 2 , Z ) S duality. This expression is shown to satisfy a novel Laplace equation in the complex coupling constant τ that relates the S U ( N ) integrated correlator to those of the S U ( N + 1 ) and S U ( N − 1 ) theories. The lattice sum is shown to precisely reproduce known perturbative and nonperturbative properties of N = 4 SYM for any finite N , as well as extending previously conjectured properties of the large- N expansion.
