On Monday 7th of November at 11:00, Tim Meier will present a review of the one-loop anomalous dimension of the su(2) subsector of N=4 SYM.

Abstract: Starting from the N=4 SYM Lagrangian and the psu(2,2|4) symmetry of the theory, I will discuss the anomalous dimension of single trace operators in N=4. Starting at one-loop level, the Operators can mix with each other due to interactions of the field content. I will explain, how to restrict the field content to get so-called closed subsectors which are closed w.r.t. the loop mixing. I will then explain on the example of the closed su(2) sector, how to map the one-loop mixing process to a system of closed spin chains with a nearest neighbor Hamiltonian, which eigenvalues can be interpreted as the one-loop anomalous dimension. Depending on time I will give an outlook on how a deformation by a Drinfel’d twist affects the spin chains and its Hamiltonian and therefore, the anomalous dimension of single trace operators.
