Abstract

We analyse the contribution of 2n scalars to the Operator Product Expansion series for MHV gluon scattering amplitudes/polygonal Wilson loops in planar N = 4 SYM. Hence, we sum up on 2n for large coupling λ: the logarithm of the amplitude is proportional to √ λ, thus competing, unexpectedly, with the famous classical contribution. We give explicit expressions for the first terms at large λ in case of two and four scalars. For finalising this analysis, we find profitable an explicit computation of the 2n-scalar term at any coupling by means of Young tableaux, paralleling, under certain aspects, the Nekrasov-Okounkov expressions for N = 2 SYM prepotential
