3 Symmetry Algebra N = 4, D = 4 Super Yang-Mills has PSU2,2 4 superalgebra. A Yangian extension exists in the planar limit of the SUN gauge group. Marginal deformations have been used to deform to N = 1, D = 4 SYM theories, SU2, 2 1 U1 U1. Deformations beta and twists have been shown to maintain integrability. Twisted theories have a non-standard coproduct. Jay N. Ihry UNC-CH Yangians In Deformed Super Yang-Mills Theories arxiv: UNC String [hep-th][-10pt] Seminar JHEP 3 / 2704:0

4 Marginal Deformation We break the N = 4 to a N = 1 superconformal theory by the addition of the marginal deformation with the superpotential W = ihtr e iπβ Φ 1 Φ 2 Φ 3 e iπβ Φ 1 Φ 3 Φ 2 + ih 3 Tr Φ Φ3 2 + Φ3 3. For an exact marginal deformation, h e iπβ e iπβ 2 + h 2 N2 4 N 2N 2 = g 2. We left h = 0 and β real in the large N limit. Then h = g. Jay N.

6 SU2 3 SU2 3 sector, a subset of states of the PSU2, 2 4 theory.

8 Standard Coproducts A coproduct is a holomorphic map : A A. Introduces the idea of single site, double site, etc... representations for the algebra A. The coproduct for the ordinary SU2 3 generators J A = J A J A. and the coproduct to create the two-site Yangian generators Q A = Q A Q A f A CBJ B J C will be used to construct tree level representations.

The commutation relations of the oscillators are {c a i, c b j} = δa b δ ij and [a α i, a β j] = δα β δ ij. Jay N. Ihry UNC-CH Yangians In Deformed Super Yang-Mills Theories arxiv: UNC String [hep-th][-10pt] Seminar JHEP 9 / 2704:0

10 Quadractic Casimir The quadratic Casimir of the subalgebra SU2 3 is g AB J A J B = 1 3 D Lα βl β α 1 2 Ra br b a 1 2 [Qc γ, S γ c]. A Casimir of any algebra has the property [g AB J A J B, J C ] = 0 When acting on any two-particle state Φ I Φ J the quadratic Casimir and the two-site Hamiltonian are equivalent, H1, 2 Φ I Φ J = g AB J A J B Φ I Φ J.

12 Analysis of Yangian Symmetry A property of the dilatation generator is [D, J A ] = dimj A J A. Also, [D, Q A ] = dimj A Q A. Expanding both the dilatation generator and the Yangian, [D, Q A ] = [D 0 + g 2 YM D 2 +, Q A 0 + g YMQ A 1 + g2 YM QA 2 + ]. Group in powers of the Yang-Mills coupling to Og 2 dimj A Q A 0 + g YMQ A 1 + g2 YM QA 2 + g2 YM [D 2, Q A 0 ] dimja Q A. That means [D 2, Q0 A ] must give zero or approximately. In the large N planar limit D 2 is our spin chain Hamiltonian, H. Jay N. Ihry UNC-CH Yangians In Deformed Super Yang-Mills Theories arxiv: UNC String[hep-th][-10pt] Seminar JHEP 12 / 2704:0

13 Edge Effects In PSU2, 2 4, an explicit check of the commutator gives the lattice derivative or edge effects of the system, [D 2, Q A 0 ] = qa 0, q A 1L = JA 1 J A L. Introduce the identity, Q A 12 = 1 4 [ ] g BC J1 B J2 C, q12 A, Recall, the quadratic Casimir is equivalent to the Hamiltonian when acting on states. For the two-site case, [ ] H1, 2, Q A 12 ΦI Φ J = 1 [ 4 H1, 2 2 q12 A + qa 12H1, 22 2H1, 2q A 12 H1, 2] Φ I Φ J. = q A 12 Φ IΦ J Jay N.

15 Deformed Hamiltonian The deformed R matrix, a solution to the Yang-Baxter equation is R IJ KL u = 1 ue ib IJ IIJ KL u + i + ipkl IJ. The identity and projection operators are IIJ KL = δk I δj L and PKL IJ = δi LδK J. The deformed monodromy matrix is T J;β 1...β L I;α 1...α L = R b L 1β L L 2 β L 1 Iα Rb L b L 1 α L 1 R L i 1 b 1β 2 b 2 α RJβ 1 2 b 1 α 1 exp iπ [α i ] + [β i ][α j ] i=1 j=1 The deformed transfer matrix is T u = [J] T J J u. The deformed Hamiltonian is derived as H = i T u 1 d du T u u=0 Jay N. Ihry UNC-CH Yangians In Deformed Super Yang-Mills Theories arxiv: UNC String[hep-th][-10pt] Seminar JHEP 15 / 2704:0

16 Deformed Two-Site Hamiltonian The two-site transfer matrix is T u = R b 1β 2 aα 2 Raβ 1 b 1 α 1 exp [iπ[α 2 ] + [β 2 ][α 1 ]]. Using the prescribed method, we derive the deformed Hamiltonian to be H = δ β 1 α 1 δ β 2 α 2 δ β 2 α 1 δ β 1 α 2 e ibα 1 α 2 + δ β 1 α 1 δ β 2 α 2 δ β 2 α 1 δ β 1 α 2 e ibα 2 α 1 = H β 1β 2 α 1 α 2 + H β 2β 1 α 2 α 1. Define the deformed two-site Hamiltonians, H1, 2 H β 1β 2 α 1 α 2 and H2, 1 H β 2β 1 α 2 α 1. Jay N.

B IJ is a real, antisymmetric matrix. Jay N. Ihry UNC-CH Yangians In Deformed Super Yang-Mills Theories arxiv: UNC String[hep-th][-10pt] Seminar JHEP 17 / 2704:0

18 Problems Due to twisting, the Hamiltonian is no longer a Casimir of the SU2 3 superalgebra [ ] H1, 2, J A 12 0, nor do we generally have the edge effects [ H1, 2, Q A 12 ] q A 12, when using the previous coproduct construction for J A 12 and QA 12.

19 Reshitikhin Twist The Reshitikhin twist is generated by a deforming function F. The R-matrix deforms as Ru = FRuF 1. The coproduct receives a deformation as well, F = F F 1. The deforming function has the definition [ i F = exp B IJ E II E JJ E JJ E II] 2 I<J Jay N.

The twisting is brought about by [ i K IJ = exp 2 ] 5 B IK B JK E KK. K =1 We define matrices E IJ KL = δ IK δ JL which satisfy [E IJ, E KL ] = δ KJ E IL δ IL E AJ. The E IJ are the generators of U2 3. Jay N. Ihry UNC-CH Yangians In Deformed Super Yang-Mills Theories arxiv: UNC String[hep-th][-10pt] Seminar JHEP 20 / 2704:0

22 It Works Acting on two particle states, the deformed Hamiltonian is equivalent to the deformed Casimir J A B J B A Φ I Φ J = H1, 2 Φ I Φ J. We check the one-loop calculation of the dilatation generator again, [ H1, 2, Q A 12B ] = q A 12B, where the edge effect term, q A 12B, has a deformation dependence q A 12B = J A B K AB K BA J A B. We find for an infinite length spin chain when JB A1, JA B L 0, then q A B 0. Recall, this is what we want! Jay N.
