Long Range Asymptotic Baxter-Bethe Ansatz for N=4 BFKL

Abstract

We demonstrate that the Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov regime of maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory can be explicitly solved up to the L+1 order in weak coupling by uncovering a novel long-range asymptotic Baxter-Bethe ansatz for trajectories with L scalar fields. The set of equations we have found is reminiscent of the Beisert-Eden-Staudacher equations for local operators but instead applies to non-local operators corresponding to the horizontal Regge trajectories. We also verify and give new predictions for the light-ray operator spectrum by resummation of the leading singularities in our result.
