Description

While the achievements in the study of N = 4 SYM Super Yang-Mills through the application of integrability are impressive, the precise origins of the exact solvability remain shrouded in mystery. In this note, we propose that viewing the problem through the lens of twistor theory should help to clarify the reasons for integrability. We illustrate the power of this approach by rederiving the model's one-loop spin chain dilatation operator in the SO(6) sector. (copyright 2015 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH and Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
