On instanton effects in the operator product expansion

Abstract We revisit the computation of instanton effects to various correlation functions in N = 4 $$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ SYM and clarify a controversy existing in the literature regarding their consistency with the OPE and conformal symmetry. To check these properties, we examine the conformal partial...
