We show which multi-trace structures are compatible with the symmetrisation of local operators in $ \mathcal{N} = 4 $ super Yang-Mills when they are organised into representations of the global symmetry group. Cut-and-join operators give the non-planar expansion of correlation functions of these operators in the free theory. Using these techniques we find the 1/N corrections to the quarter-BPS operators which remain protected at weak coupling. We also present a new way of counting these chiral…

From counting to construction of BPS states in $ \mathcal{N} = 4 $ SYM
We describe a universal element $ \mathbb{P} $ in the group algebra of symmetric groups, whose characters provides the counting of quarter and eighth BPS states at weak coupling in $ \mathcal{N} = 4…
Surprisingly simple spectra
The large N limit of the anomalous dimensions of operators in $ \mathcal{N} = 4 $ super Yang-Mills theory described by restricted Schur polynomials, are studied. We focus on operators labeled by…
Quarter BPS classified by Brauer algebra
We analyse the one-loop dilatation operator with the help of the Brauer algebra. We find some BPS operators in $ \mathcal{N} = 4 $ SYM, which are labelled by irreducible representations of the Brauer…
Quarter-BPS states, multi-symmetric functions and set partitions
We give a construction of general holomorphic quarter BPS operators in $ \mathcal{N}=4$ SYM at weak coupling with $U(N)$ gauge group at finite $N$. The construction employs the Mobius inversion…
From Gauss graphs to giants
A bstractWe identify the operators in N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory that correspond to 18$$ \frac{1}{8} $$ -BPS giant gravitons in AdS5 × S5. Our evidence for the identification comes from (1)…
Young diagrams, Brauer algebras, and bubbling geometries
A bstractWe study the 1/4 BPS geometries corresponding to the 1/4 BPS operators of the dual gauge theory side, in $ \mathcal{N} = {4} $ SYM. By analyzing asymptotic structure and flux integration of…
Higher spins & strings
A bstractIt is natural to believe that the free symmetric product orbifold CFT is dual to the tensionless limit of string theory on AdS3 × S3 × T4$$ {\mathbb{T}}^4 $$. At this point in moduli space,…
BPS Operators and Brane Geometries.
In this thesis we explore the finite N spectrum of BPS operators in four-dimensional supersymmetric conformal field theories (CFT), which have dual AdS gravitational descriptions. In the first part…
Correlators in the simplest gauge-string duality
A bstractIn this note we compare planar correlators such as $ {{\left\langle {\prod\nolimits_i^n {\mathrm{Tr}{M^{{2{k_i}}}}} } \right\rangle}_{\mathrm{conn}}} $ in the Gaussian matrix model with…
Higher genus BMN correlators: factorization and recursion relations
We systematically study the factorization and recursion relations in higher genus correlation functions of BMN (Berenstein-Maldacena-Nastase) operators in free N=4 super Yang Mills theory. These…

Strings in flat space and pp waves from ${\cal N}=4$ Super Yang Mills
