In this paper we study the form factors for the half-BPS operators $\mathcal{O}^{(n)}_I$ and the $\mathcal{N}=4$ stress tensor supermultiplet current $W^{AB}$ up to the second order of perturbation theory and for the Konishi operator $\mathcal{K}$ at first order of perturbation theory in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM theory at weak coupling. For all the objects we observe the exponentiation of the IR divergences with two anomalous dimensions: the cusp anomalous dimension and the collinear anomalous dimension. For the IR finite parts we obtain a similar situation as for the gluon scattering amplitudes, namely, apart from the case of $W^{AB}$ and $\mathcal{K}$ the finite part has some remainder function which we calculate up to the second order. It involves the generalized Goncharov polylogarithms of several variables. All the answers are expressed through the integrals related to the dual conformal invariant ones which might be a signal of integrable structure standing behind the form factors.

  1. Dyeing form factors as amplitudes

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A dyeing procedure maps form factors to colored amplitudes, recovering the originals by bleaching and explaining double-copy features through standard BCJ relations.

  2. Double copy of form factors with multiple operator insertions

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A dyeing procedure generalizes the double copy to form factors with multiple operator insertions by mapping spurious poles to physical propagators and revealing a new scalar-ordering structure in gravity.

  3. Tracing Transcendentality in Protected Correlators of N=4 SYM

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Explicit two-loop computations of protected correlators in N=4 SYM yield a universal one-loop term and a planar extrapolation at arbitrary dimension controlled by stress-tensor multiplet count.
