Using the method of obstructions to extract this quantity from the 1/epsilon singularity in the four-gluon iterative relation at four loops, we find g^4 = -1240.9 with an estimated numerical uncertainty of 0.02%. We also analyze the implication of our result for the strong coupling behavior of g(lambda), finding support for the string theory prediction computed recently by Alday and Maldacena using AdS/CFT.5 pages, 2 figuresHigh Energy Physics - Theorytext
