Abstract:
We consider correlation functions of single trace operators approaching the cusps of null polygons in a double-scaling limit where so-called cusp times t_{i}^{2}=g^{2}logx_{i-1,i}^{2}logx_{i,i+1}^{2} are held fixed and the 't Hooft coupling is small. With the help of stampedes, symbols, and educated guesses, we find that any such correlator can be uniquely fixed through a set of coupled lattice PDEs of Toda type with several intriguing novel features. These results hold for most conformal gauge theories with a large number of colors, including planar N=4 SYM.
