Constrained Padé ensembles for thermal N = 4 SYM: Quantified uncertainties and next-order predictions
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: We quantify the transition between weak and strong coupling in thermal N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in four space-time dimensions by constructing an of log-aware Padé approximants that incorporate the weak- and strong-coupling expansions through O ( λ 2 ) and O ( λ − 3 / 2 ) ( λ is the ’t Hooft coupling), including the nonanalytic λ 3 / 2 and λ 2 log λ terms. This replaces single-curve estimates with a reproducible uncertainty band and a well-defined central curve across the intermediate regime. The framework is , setting testable benchmarks for forthcoming perturbative and holographic calculations.
