We consider operators in the su(2) sector of N = 4 super-Yang-Mills theory, that have a
classical dimension of order N. The correlation functions of these operators receive corrections
at large N from non-planar diagrams. We compute the spectrum of anomalous dimensions by
enforcing the global su(2) symmetry algebra of the theory. The computation entails computing
the exact form of the su(2) generators. Our results provide further support for integrability in
large N but non-planar limits of the theory.
