Abstract

We show that the recently found S-matrices describing the scattering of two-particle bound states of the light-cone string sigma model on AdS5 x S5 are compatible with Yangian symmetry. In case the invariance with respect to the centrally extended su(2|2) algebra is not sufficient to fully specify the scattering matrix, the requirement of Yangian symmetry provides an alternative to the Yang-Baxter equation and leads to a complete, up to an overall phase, determination of the S-matrix. We then compare the semi-classical limit of the bound state S-matrices with the universal classical r-matrix by Beisert and Spill evaluated in the corresponding bound state representations and find perfect agreement.
