Centre-of-mass motion in multi-particle Schroedinger-Newton dynamics

We investigate the implication of the non-linear and non-local multi-particle Schroedinger-Newton equation for the motion of the mass centre of an extended multi-particle object, giving self-contained and comprehensible derivations. In particular, we discuss two opposite limiting cases. In the first case, the width of the centre-of-mass wave packet is assumed much larger than the actual extent of the object, in the second case it is assumed much smaller. Both cases result in non-linear deviations from ordinary free Schroedinger evolution for the centre of mass. On a general conceptual level we include some discussion in order to clarify the physical basis and intention for studying the Schroedinger-Newton equation.

Three-point functions in planar N=4 super Yang-Mills Theory for scalar operators up to length five at the one-loop order

We report on a systematic perturbative study of three-point functions in planar SU(N) N=4 super Yang-Mills theory at the one-loop level involving scalar field operators up to length five. For this we have computed a sample of 40 structure constants involving primary operators of up to and including length five which are built entirely from scalar fields. A combinatorial dressing technique has been developed to promote tree-level correlators to one-loop level. In addition we have resolved the mixing up to the order (g_YM)^2 level of the operators involved, which amounts to mixings with bi-fermions, with bi-derivative insertions as well as self-mixing contributions in the scalar sector. This work supersedes a preprint by two of the authors from 2010 which had neglected the mixing contributions.

One-Loop Spectroscopy of Scalar Three-Point Functions in planar N=4 super Yang-Mills Theory

We report on a systematic study of scalar field three-point functions in planar SU(N) N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. The motivation for this work is to provide sufficient data for future conjectures on the higher-loop form of the structure constants possibly involving integrability. For this we have computed a sample of 70 structure constants at one-loop order involving primary operators of up to and including length five built entirely from scalar fields. We observe in all 17 cases occurring in our sample that the one-loop structure constant of two protected chiral primary operators and one unprotected operator is given by a simple linear function involving the anomalous scaling dimension of the latter. Moreover, a similar simple one-loop formula is proven for the three-point structure constants of the Konishi operator and two arbitrary protected or un-protected operators. It is again determined by the anomalous scaling dimensions of the operators involved.
