Form factors in N=4 SYM

Dr Gang Yang

Abstract

There have been significant progress in the calculation of scattering amplitudes in N=4 SYM. In this talk I will consider `form factors', which are defined not only with on-shell asymptotic states but also with one off-shell operator inserted. Such quantities are in some sense the hybrid of on-shell quantities (such

as scattering amplitudes) and off-shell quantities (such as correlation functions). We will see that form factors inherit many nice properties of scattering amplitudes, in particular we will consider their supersymmetrization and the dual picture.
