### Multipoint conformal blocks in the comb channel

A bstractConformal blocks are the building blocks for correlation functions in conformal field theories. The four-point function is the most well-studied case. We consider conformal blocks for

We present the technique for resummation of flux tube excitations series arising in pentagon operator expansion program for polygonal Wilson loops in N=4 SYM. Here we restrict ourselves with

• 2020
We review the bootstrap method for constructing six- and seven-particle amplitudes in planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory, by exploiting their analytic structure. We focus on two recently

### Non-perturbative approaches to Scattering Amplitudes

This thesis is devoted to the study of scattering amplitudes using two non-perturbative approaches. In Part I we focus on a particular theory known as N = 4 Super-Yang-Mills in four spacetime

### A novel algorithm for nested summation and hypergeometric expansions

• 2020
Abstract We consider a class of sums over products of Z-sums whose arguments differ by a symbolic integer. Such sums appear, for instance, in the expansion of Gauss hypergeometric functions around

A bstractWe extend the Operator Product Expansion (OPE) for scattering amplitudes in planar N=4$$\mathcal{N}=4$$ SYM to account for all possible helicities of the external states. This is done by

We propose a nonperturbative formulation of planar scattering amplitudes in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, or, equivalently, polygonal Wilson loops. The construction is based on the operator

A bstractWe present the resummation of the full Pentagon Operator Product Expansion series of the hexagon Wilson loop in planar N=4$$\mathcal{N}=4$$ SYM at tree level. We do so by considering the

• Mathematics

We compute super Yang–Mills planar amplitudes at strong coupling by considering minimal surfaces in AdS5 space. The surfaces end on a null polygonal contour at the boundary of AdS. We show how to

We describe how to compute planar gluon scattering amplitudes at strong coupling in = 4 super Yang Mills by using the gauge/string duality. The computation boils down to finding a certain classical

We consider the duality between the four-dimensional S-matrix of planar maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and the expectation value of polygonal shaped Wilson loops in the same theory. We
