We consider a particular large-radius limit of the worldsheet $S$-matrix for strings propagating on $AdS_5 \times S^5$. This limiting theory interpolates smoothly between the so-called plane-wave and giant-magnon regimes of the theory. The…

We propose a new example of the AdS/CFT correspondence between the system of multiple giant gravitons in AdS${}_5 \times {}$S${}^5$ and the operators with $O(N_c)$ dimensions in ${\cal N}=4$ super Yang-Mills. We first extend the mixing of…

Recently-developed variational perturbation expansions converge exponentially fast for positive coupling constants. They do not, however, possess the correct left-hand cut in the complex coupling constant plane, implying a wrong large-order…

Giant magnon solutions play an important role in various aspects of the AdS/CFT correspondence. We apply the dressing method to construct an explicit formula for scattering states of an arbitrary number N of magnons on R x S^3. The solution…
