Abstract

Jordanian deformations offer rare integrable realisations of non-AdS holography, whose solvability methods differ from conventional AdS/CFT examples. Here we study the sl(2,R)\mathfrak{sl}(2,R) sector of the Jordanian deformed AdS5×S5AdS_5\times S^5 string and its weak-coupling spin chain counterpart: the XXX1/2\mathrm{XXX}_{-1/2} model with a non-abelian Jordanian Drinfel'd twist. While the twist breaks the usual highest-weight structure that underlies conventional Bethe ans\"atze, we show that the complete spectrum remains solvable within the Baxter framework. We argue that the functional form of the TQTQ-relation is unchanged, yet the structure of the QQ-functions is nontrivially modified. This allows us to obtain analytic expressions at arbitrary spin chain length JJ, which match the deformed string spectrum at the one-loop level and to subleading order in the large-JJ expansion, despite the severely reduced symmetry. Our results provide nontrivial tests of the Jordanian AdS/CFT correspondence and lay the groundwork for implementing the Separation of Variables program in non-abelian Drinfel'd-twisted models.
