Abstract

I present a summary of hep-th/0404215, which suggested a novel way of organizing the dilatation operator D of planar \( \mathcal{N}\) = 4 SYM in the SU(2) sector. Instead of the usual perturbative expansion in powers of λ, we split D into parts D(n) according to the number n of independent pairwise interactions between spins at different sites. The BMN limit fixes D(1) completely, and it has regular expansions at both small and large values of λ. Anomalous dimensions of “long” operators in the two-scalar sector then generically scale as √λ at large λ, i.e. in the same way as energies of semiclassical states in the dual AdS5 ×S5 string theory.
