We study an angular dipole deformation of maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory that preserves its classical scale invariance. Two-point functions of suitable single trace operators, restricted to an invariant plane, are determined by scaling dimensions computable via an integrable spin chain. This spin chain is a twisted version of the famous integrable spin chain of SYM theory. It matches expectations from the dual string theory perfectly, presenting a precision test of holography in this new setting, and an important step to understanding general twisted integrable AdS/CFT.

Qualitatively, any spin plus-half nucleus polarizes the spins of its electrons to the minus-half state. Consequently, the paired electron in the hydrogen–carbon bond must...

The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
