The AdS3 x S3 x S3 x S1 Hernandez-Lopez Phases: a Semiclassical Derivation
Abstract
This note calculates the Hernandez-Lopez phases for strings in AdS3 x S3 x S3 x S1 by semiclassical methods using the d(2,1;\alpha)^2 algebraic curve. By working at general \alpha\ we include modes absent from previous semiclassical calculations of this phase in AdS3 x S3 x T4, and in particular can study the scattering of particles of different mass. By carefully re-deriving the semiclassical formula we clarify some issues of antisymmetrisation, cutoffs and surface terms which could safely be ignored in AdS5 x S5, and some issues about the terms c_1,s which were absent there. As a result we see agreement with the recently calculated all-loop dressing phase in the AdS3 x S3 x T4 case, and exactly 1/2 this in the general case AdS3 x S3 x S3 x S1 for any \alpha\ and any (light) polarisations.
