  6. AdS/CFT spectrum Conformal dimensions String energies Emergence of integrable structures ! IIB Strings on SYM on

  7. Spectrum of string energies ► Dispersion relation dispersionless non-relativistic (propagation of excitation) lattice relativistic AdS/CFT ► Momentum selection (periodicity+level matching) Phase shift

  8. Spectrum of string energies ► If String theory was integrable... ... then the multi-particle phase shifts would be products of ... and the momenta would satisfy Bethe equations like ... and the spectrum would be given by

  9. Proposed Bethe equations for AdS/CFT Nested Bethe equations Bethe roots [Beisert, Staudacher ‘05] Rapidity map Dressing phase [Beisert, Eden, Staudacher ‘07] Dispersion relations [Dorey, Hofman, Maldacena ’07]  planar asymptotic spectrum

  10. Brief history of the dressing phase Dressing phase [BHL ‘06] SYM side String side [HL ‘06] [BES ‘06] [AFS ‘04] [BDS ‘04] “trivial” 0 1 2 3 4 2 1 0 Checks in 4-loop gauge theory Checks in 2-loop string theory [Bern, Czakon, Dixon, Kosower, Smirnov ‘06]  Tristan’s talk tomorrow [Beisert, McLoughlin, Roiban ‘07]

  11. Checks of Integrability in AdS/CFT ► Integrability of planar N=4 SYM theory [Minahan, Zarembo ‘02] Spin chain picture at large N Dilatation operator Hamiltonian of integrable spin-chain [Minahan, Zarembo ‘02]  Algebratic Bethe ansatz at 1-loop [Beisert, Staudacher ‘03] [Beisert, Kristjansen, Staudacher ‘03]  Degeneracies in the spectrum at higher loops  Inozemtsev spin chain up to 3-loops in SU(2) sector [Serban, Staudacher ‘04]  Factorization of 3-impurity S-matrix in SL(2) sector [Eden, Staudacher ‘06]

  12. Checks of Integrability in AdS/CFT [Mandal, Suryanarayana, Wadia ‘02] ► Classical Integrability of planar AdS string theory [Bena, Polchinski, Roiban ‘03] Coset representative conserved Current flat Family of flat currents Monodromy matrix generates conserved charges

  13. Checks of Integrability in AdS/CFT ► Quantum Integrability of planar AdS string theory • Quantum consistency of AdS strings, and existence of higher charges in pure spinor formulation [Berkovits ‘05] • Check energies of multi-excitation states against Bethe equations (at tree-level) [Callan, McLoughlin, Swanson ‘04] [Hentschel, Plefka, Sundin ‘07]  Absence of particle production in bosonic sector in semiclassical limit [TK, McLoughlin, Roiban, Zarembo ‘06]  Quantum consistency of monodromy matrix [Mikhailov, Schäfer-Nameki ‘07]

  14. Integrability in 1+1d QFTs Existence of local higher rank conserved charges [Shankar, Witten ‘78] [Zamolodchikov, Zamolodchikov ‘79] [Parke ‘80] ► No particle production or annihilation ► Conservation of the set of momenta ► -particle S-Matrix factorizes into 2-particle S-Matrices

  15. Conservation laws and Scattering in 1+1 dimensions ► 1 particle ► 2 particles ► 3 particles ► particle

  16. Conservation laws and Scattering in 1+1 dimensions [Parke ‘80] local conserved charges with action conservation implies: “Two mutually commuting local charges of other rank than scalar and tensor are sufficient for S-matrix factorization !”

  17. Strings on AdS5xS5 (bosonic) [Metsaev, Tseytlin ‘98] AdS5 x S5

  18. Strings on AdS5xS5 (bosonic) ►Fixing reparametization invariance in uniform lightcone gauge [Arutyunov, Frolov, Zamaklar ‘06] worldsheet Hamiltonian density eliminated by Virasoro constraints ►Back to Lagrangian formulation

  19. Strings on AdS5xS5 (bosonic) ► Decompactification limit rescale such that world-sheet size no , no loop counting parameter send to define asymptotic states

  20. Superstrings on AdS5xS5 [Metsaev, Tseytlin ‘98] ► Sigma model on Gauge fixing (L.C. + -symmetry) [Frolov, Plefka, Zamaklar ‘06] Manifest symmetries

  21. Worldsheet S-Matrix ► 4 types of particles, 48=65536 Matrix elements ► Group factorization ► Each factor has manifest invariance

  22. Symmetry constraints on the S-Matrix In infinite volume, the symmetry algebra gets centrally extended to [Beisert ‘06] ► 2-particle S-Matrix: for one S-Matrix factor: irrep of of centrally extended algreba relate the two irreps of the total S-Matrix is: fixed up to one function

  23. Symmetry constraints on the S-Matrix ► 3-particle S-matrix: fixed up to four functions

  24. 3-particle S-matrix ► Eigenstates Extract coefficient functions from: ► Disconnected piece: factorizes trivially, 2-particle S-matrix checked to 2-loops [TK, McLoughlin, Minahan, Zarembo ‘07] ► Connected piece: factorization at 1-loopto be shown below !

  25. Near-flat-space limit ► Boost in the world-sheet theory: Highly interacting giant magnons [Hofman, Maldacena ‘06] Only quartic interactions ! near-flat-space [Maldacena, Swanson ‘06] plane-wave [Berenstein, Maldacena, Nastase ‘02] Free massive theory

  26. Near-flat-space limit Coupling constant: Propagators: bosons , fermions Non-Lorentz invariant interactions ! Decoupling of right-movers ! ! UV-finiteness  Tristan’s talk tomorrow ! quantum mechanically consistent reduction at least to two-loops

  34. Emergence of factorization Cutting rule in 2d for arbitrary 1-loop diagrams [Källén, Toll ‘64] Applied to “sun-diagram”:
