Hello, I've seen stated in many places that N=4 SYM is a unique theory and I'm wondering why this is. In my reading, I've seen why there is a unique N=4 supermultiplet and this would fix the field content of the theory (up to one caveat I have: why couldn't an N=4 theory contain multiple N=4 supermultiplets interacting among themselves?). However, I haven't been able to find anywhere why the Lagrangian should be unique.

Thanks!

Oops, this should have gone in the field theory section. I can't seem to delete it?
 
I asked a question here, probably over 15 years ago on entanglement and I appreciated the thoughtful answers I received back then. The intervening years haven't made me any more knowledgeable in physics, so forgive my naïveté ! If a have a piece of paper in an area of high gravity, lets say near a black hole, and I draw a triangle on this paper and 'measure' the angles of the triangle, will they add to 180 degrees? How about if I'm looking at this paper outside of the (reasonable)...
