The square-kagome quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet at high magnetic fields: The localized-magnon paradigm and beyond [PDF]
We consider the spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on the two-dimensional square-kagome lattice with almost dispersionless lowest magnon band. For a general exchange coupling geometry we elaborate low-energy effective Hamiltonians which emerge ...

Operator Product Expansion of the Lowest Weight CPOs in N=4 SYM_4 at Strong Coupling [PDF]
We present a detailed analysis of the 4-point functions of the lowest weight chiral primary operators $O^{I} \sim \tr \phi^{(i}\phi^{j)}$ in $\N =4$ SYM$_4$ at strong coupling and show that their structure is compatible with the predictions of AdS/CFT ...
