We introduce a novel regularization scheme: Systematic Analytic Regularization (SAR). SAR regularizes a theory at the level of the action by analytically continuing the power of the kinetic operator, ensuring that the theory is formally finite before any terms in the Dyson series are evaluated. We demonstrate that SAR fully and self-consistently regularizes $\varphi^4$ and Yukawa theories at NLO.
The spectral problem of four-dimensional superconformal quiver gauge theories can be mapped to one-dimensional spin chains with restricted Hilbert spaces, where the composition of neighbouring spins follows the path algebra of the quiver. To better understand such spin chains, we compute the one-loop planar dilatation operator for the 4d N=2 ADE quiver gauge theories obtained by orbifolding the N=4 Super-Yang-Mills theory and marginally deforming by independently varying the gauge couplings. This extends previous work which was mainly focused on the Z2 quiver. We characterise the general features of the resulting ADE spin-chain models and construct the 2-magnon Bethe ansatz for holomorphic states. We also evaluate, at large N, the N=2 superconformal index of these gauge theories and use it to study their protected spectrum in specific sectors.
