Superspace calculation of the four-loop spectrum in \(\mathcal{N} = 6\) supersymmetric Chern-Simons theories. (English) Zbl 1294.81118

Summary: Using \(\mathcal{N} = 2\) superspace techniques we compute the four-loop spectrum of single trace operators in the SU(2) {\(\times\)} SU(2) sector of ABJM and ABJ supersymmetric Chern-Simons theories. Our computation yields a four-loop contribution to the function \(h^{2}(\lambda)\) (and its ABJ generalization) in the magnon dispersion relation which has fixed maximum transcendentality and coincides with the findings in components given in the revised versions of [The \(3^{rd}\), \(4^{th}\) and \(6^{th}\)author, J. Phys. A, Math. Theor. 43, No. 27, Article ID 275402, 17 p. (2010); corrigendum 44, No. 4, Article ID, 2 p. (2011; Zbl 1193.81089)] and [The \(3^{rd}\), \(4^{th}\) and \(6^{th}\)author, Nucl. Phys., B 846, No. 3, 542-606 (2011; Zbl 1208.82011)]. We also discuss possible scenarios for an all-loop function \(h^{2}(\lambda)\) that interpolates between weak and strong couplings.
