报告摘要: Over the past few years, it has been shown that, when integrating out the spacetime dependence with certain integration measures, some four-point correlation functions in four-dimensional maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (N=4 SYM) can be computed exactly. These physical observables are often called integrated correlators, which are functions of (complexified) Yang-Mills coupling, and transform under the S-duality of N=4 SYM. In this talk, I will review some of the recent developments regarding these integrated correlators.
