A piece of cake: the ground-state energies in γ _i-deformed N = 4 SYM theory at leading wrapping order

In the non-supersymmetric γ¡-deformed N = 4 SYM theory, the scaling dimensions of the operators tr[ZL] composed of L scalar fields Z receive finite-size wrapping and prewrapping corrections in the ’t Hooft limit. In this paper, we calculate these scaling dimensions to leading wrapping order directly from Feynman diagrams. For L ≥ 3, the result is proportional to the maximally transcendental ‘cake’ integral. It matches with an earlier result obtained from the integrability-based Lüscher corrections, TBA and Y-system equations. At L = 2, where the integrability-based equations yield infinity, we find a finite rational result. This result is renormalization-scheme dependent due to the non-vanishing β-function of an induced quartic scalar double-trace coupling, on which we have reported earlier. This explicitly shows that conformal invariance is broken — even in the ’t Hooft limit.
