Abstract

We discuss the mass-deformed N = 4 SU(N) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (also known as the N = 1∗ theory). We analyze how the correlation functions of this theory transform under S-duality, and which correlation functions depend holomorphically on the complexified gauge coupling τ. We provide exac...
