Transfer matrices for AdS3/CFT2

High Energy Physics - Theory 2022-07-25 v3

Abstract

We work out the algebraic Bethe ansatz for the worldsheet theory of the AdS3×S3×T4AdS_3\times S^3\times T^4 superstring, and use it to derive the transfer matrices for fundamental particles and bound states of the string and mirror model. We also show how the Bethe equations and transfer matrices are modified in the presence of an Abelian twist. These will be an important ingredient in the exploration of the mirror thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equations recently proposed by Frolov and Sfondrini, and their generalisation to twisted and deformed models.
