TL;DR

This paper investigates the anomalous dimensions of twist operators in planar N=6 ABJM theory, revealing integrability-based results and connections to QCD phenomena like reciprocity and logarithmic cancellations.

Contribution

It derives higher order anomalous dimensions from integrability and explores QCD-inspired properties in the context of N=6 superconformal Chern-Simons theory.

Findings

Asymptotic anomalous dimensions show Gribov-Lipatov reciprocity.

Logarithmic cancellations similar to Low-Burnett-Kroll observed.

Wrapping effects are subleading at large spin.

Abstract

We consider twist-1, 2 operators in planar N=6 superconformal Chern-Simons ABJM theory. We derive higher order anomalous dimensions from integrability and test various QCD-inspired predictions known to hold in N=4 SYM. In particular, we show that the asymptotic anomalous dimensions display intriguing remnants of Gribov-Lipatov reciprocity and Low-Burnett-Kroll logarithmic cancellations. Wrapping effects are also discussed and shown to be subleading at large spin.
