Abstract

In this talk, I will first give an introduction to the integrated correlators in four dimensional N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory, which contain rich physics such as scattering amplitude in AdS5 and supersymmetric partition function on four sphere and have interesting mathematical structures. Then I will move on to N = 2 theories, whose integrated correlators remain largely unexplored. In particular, I will focus on the so-called D-theory and explore various features in the large N region. This talk is based on 2510.27594 and some work in progress.

Zhihao Duan is currenly a postdoctoral researcher in the University of Geneva. He received his Ph.D. from the École Normale Supérieure de Paris under the supervision of Amir-Kian Kashani-Poor in 2019 and then worked as postdoc in the Korea Institute for Advanced Study (2019-2023) and the Queen Mary University of London (2023-2025). His research interests focus on non-perturbative phenomena in quantum field theory or string theory and their associated quantum mathematics. He is also interested in the mathematical structure of generalized global symmetries.
