Abstract

We consider the exact S-matrix governing the planar spectral problem for strings on AdS5×S5AdS_5\times S^5 and N=4\mathcal N=4 super Yang-Mills, and we show that it is invariant under a novel "boost" symmetry, which acts as a differentiation with respect to the particle momentum. This generator leads us also to reinterpret the usual centrally extended psu(22)\mathfrak{psu}(2|2) symmetry, and to conclude that the S-matrix is invariant under a qq-Poincar\'e supersymmetry algebra, where the deformation parameter is related to the 't Hooft coupling. We determine the two-particle action (coproduct) that turns out to be non-local, and study the property of the new symmetry under crossing transformations. We look at both the strong-coupling (large tension in the string theory) and weak-coupling (spin-chain description of the gauge theory) limits; in the former regime we calculate the cobracket utilising the universal classical r-matrix of Beisert and Spill. In the eventuality that the boost has higher partners, we also construct a quantum affine version of 2D Poincar\'e symmetry, by contraction of the quantum affine algebra Uq(sl2^)U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}_2}) in Drinfeld's second realisation.
