An extension of the correlation/amplitude duality in planar N=4 SYM

Frank Coronado

Scattering amplitudes in N=4 super Yang-Mills (SYM) exhibit an additional symmetry known as dual conformal symmetry. Besides that, massless amplitudes are dual to correlation functions of the smallest local operators in the same theory. In this talk I will present an extension of this duality that equates massive amplitudes in the Coulomb branch of SYM to correlation functions of local operators with large scaling dimension.
