String bits and the spin vertex

We initiate a novel formalism for computing correlation functions of trace operators in the planar N=4 SYM theory. The central object in our formalism is the spin vertex which is the weak coupling analogy of the string vertex in string field theory. We construct the spin vertex explicitly for all se...
