Particular features of the N=4 SYM integrable model

  • ne-parametrer integrable super-spin chain
  • long-range interaction (∼ Inozemtsev or Hubbard at half filling)
  • length-changing interactions
  • BAE only asymptotic (L → ∞)
  • crossing-like symmetry (particle/antiparticle) → dressing phase
  • not (exactly) relativistically invariant
  • scattering matrix does not depend on rapidity difference

  • su(2) sector reproducible from the Hubbard model at half filling

(except for the dressing phase)

  • Beisert’s su(2|2) symmetric S-matrix ∼ Hubbard Shastry’s R-matrix

But the Hubbard construction:

  • does not extends to other sectors than su(2), e.g. su(1|1)
  • does not take into account the dressing phase
  • is it possible to define an all-loop hamiltonian?
  • how to take into account the fine-size effects?

Remark: the su(2|2) symmetric S-matrix is also an essential ingredient of the new AdS4 x CP3 duality [Aharony, Bergman, Jafferis Maldacena, 08]

TBA program

Use the field-theoretical methods to compute finite-size corrections:

  • Lüscher terms [Janik, Lukowski 07,...]
  • put the theory on the cylinder and make a “double Wick rotation” 1/T → R

[Arutynov, Frolov 07; Bajnok, Janik,08]

  • difficulty: the rotated theory is not equivalent to the original one (“mirror theory”)

[Ambjorn, Janik, Kristjansen 05] [Bajnok, Janik,08]: from TBA [Fiamberti, Santambrogio, Sieg, Zanon ,08]: perturbative computation in N=4 SYM

The origin of integrability?

There is more in N=4 SYM than the dilatation operator...

  • the multigluon amplitudes have a particular structure at higher loops - >

BDS conjecture [Bern, Dixon, Smirnov 05] (fails for n>5)

  • this structure was checked at strong coupling for 4 (and many) gluons

[Alday, Maldacena 07]

  • dual superconformal symmetry [Drummond, Henn, Korchemsky, Sokatchev, 07-08]

(and duality between multigluon amplitudes and the Wilson loops with lightlike cusps)

Is there any connection between this structure and the integrability?

[Berkovits, Maldacena, 08] [Beisert, Ricci, Tseytlin, Wolf, 08]

Integrable open spin chain for gluon amplitudes [Lipatov, 08]

Conclusion

  • the AdS/CFT correspondence provides an unusual integrable structure
  • it puts together many known integrable models into a highly symmetric structure
  • the complete definition still not under control ( what is the hamiltonian?)
  • what are the consequences of integrability on the overall structure of N=4 SYM?
  • which are the other (integrable) dualities?
