Abstract
The octagon function is the fundamental building block yielding correlation functions of four large BPS operators in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory at any value of the 't Hooft coupling and at any genus order. Here we compute the octagon at strong coupling, and discuss various interesting limits and implications, both at the planar and non-planar level.
