Abstract

In this paper we initiate the study of form factors for the massless scattering of integrable AdS2AdS_2 superstrings, where the difference-form of the SS-matrix can be exploited to implement the relativistic form factor bootstrap. The non-standard nature of the SS-matrix implies that traditional methods do not apply. We use the fact that the massless AdS2AdS_2 SS-matrix is a limit of a better-behaved SS-matrix found by Fendley. We show that the previously conjectured massless AdS2AdS_2 dressing factor coincides with the limit of the De Martino - Moriconi improved dressing factor for the Fendley SS-matrix. After finding a method to construct integral representations of relativistic dressing factors satisfying specific assumptions, we obtain analytic proofs of crossing and unitarity relations and propose a solution to the form factors constraints in the two-particle case.
