The contribution of scalars to N=4 SYM amplitudes II: Young tableaux, asymptotic factorisation and strong coupling

We disentangle the contribution of scalars to the OPE series of null hexagonal Wilson loops/MHV gluon scattering amplitudes in multicolour N=4 SYM. In specific, we develop a systematic computation of the SU(4) matrix part of the Wilson loop by means of Young tableaux (with several examples). Then, w...
