On Null Polygonal Wilson Loops in Superspace
Prof. Dr. Niklas Beisert
29 Nov 2011, 17:30 – 18:30

Null polygonal Wilson loops in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (SYM) have been shown to be dual to scattering amplitudes in the same theory. This intriguing relationship has
led to substantial progress in computing both sets of observables, and it is deeply connected to planar integrability of the model. In this talk I will discuss the geometry of null polygons in N=4 superspace using twistor space and a calculation of the corresponding Wilson loop expectation value.
