A bstractWe study the cusp anomalous dimension in N$$\mathcal{N}$$ = 6 ABJ(M) theory, identifying a scaling limit in which the ladder diagrams dominate. The resummation is encoded into a Bethe-Salpeter equation that is mapped to a Schroedinger problem, exactly solvable due to the surprising supersymmetry of the effective Hamiltonian. In the ABJ case the solution implies the diagonalization of the U(N ) and U(M ) building blocks, suggesting the existence of two independent cusp anomalous…
