The irrelevant composite operator $T\bar{T}$, constructed from components of the stress-energy tensor, exhibits unique properties in two-dimensional quantum field theories and represents a distinctive form of integrable deformation.…
Processes mediated by two virtual low-energy photons contribute quite significantly to the energy of hydrogenic S states. The corresponding level shift is of the order of (alpha/pi)^2 (Zalpha)^6 m_e c^2 and may be ascribed to a two-loop…
We construct a microscopic model of thermally excited superdeformed states that describes both the barrier penetration mechanism, leading to the decay-out transitions to normal deformed states, and the rotational damping causing…
We find an exact analytical solution of the Y-system describing a cusped Wilson line in the planar limit of N=4 SYM. Our explicit solution describes anomalous dimensions of this family of observables for any value of the `t Hooft coupling…
We study the marginal deformation of the symmetric-product orbifold theory Sym$_N(T^4)$ which corresponds to introducing a small amount of Ramond-Ramond flux into the dual $AdS_3\times S^3\times T^4$ background. Already at first order in…
We apply the recently proposed quantum spectral curve technique to the study of twist operators in planar N=4 SYM theory. We focus on the small spin expansion of anomalous dimensions in the sl(2) sector and compute its first two orders…
Asymptotic behavior of the anomalous dimensions of Wilson operators with high spin and twist is governed in planar N=4 SYM theory by the scaling function which coincides at strong coupling with the energy density of a two-dimensional…
We formulate the thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz (TBA) equations for the closed (periodic boundary conditions) $A^{(2)}_2$ quantum spin chain in an external magnetic field, in the (noncritical) regime where the anisotropy parameter $\eta$ is…
We considered folded spinning string in AdS_5 x S^5 background dual to the Tr(D^S Phi^J) operators of N=4 SYM theory. In the limit S,J-> \infty and l=pi J/\sqrt\lambda\log S fixed we compute the string energy with the 2-loop accuracy in the…
It was recently shown that the string theory duals of certain deformations of the N=4 gauge theory can be obtained by a combination of T-duality transformations and coordinate shifts. Here we work out the corresponding procedure of twisting…
The Gaudin model based on the sl_2-invariant r-matrix with an extra Jordanian term depending on the spectral parameters is considered. The appropriate creation operators defining the Bethe states of the system are constructed through a…
We introduce an extension of the generalised $T\bar{T}$-deformation described by Smirnov-Zamolodchikov, to include the complete set of extensive charges. We show that this gives deformations of S-matrices beyond CDD factors, generating…
We investigate the physical properties of an integrable extension of the Hubbard model with a free parameter $\gamma$ related to the quantum deformation of the superalgebra $sl(2|2)^{(2)}$. The Bethe ansatz solution is used to determine the…
The spectral problem for the ${\rm AdS}_5\times {\rm S}^5$ superstring and its dual planar maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory can be efficiently solved through a set of functional equations known as the quantum spectral curve. We…
We consider the critical non-unitary minimal model {\cal M}(3,5) with integrable boundaries. We analyze the patterns of zeros of the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix and then determine the spectrum of the critical theory through the…
The Konishi superconformal multiplet is an important theoretical laboratory where one can test AdS/CFT methods to compute strong coupling corrections to the spectrum of superstrings in AdS_5 x S^5. In particular, one can exploit…
We explore the structure of the $\lambda$-deformed $\sigma$-model action by setting up a perturbative expansion around the free field point corresponding to the identity group element. We include all field interaction terms up to sixth…
We discuss several aspects of superconformal field theories in four dimensions (CFT_4), in the context of electric-magnetic duality. We analyse the behaviour of anomalous currents under RG flow to a conformal fixed point in N=1, D=4…
We derive the TBA system of equations from the S-matrix describing integrable massive perturbation of the coset $G_l \times G_m / G_{l+m}$ by the field $(1,1,adj)$ for all the infinite series of the simple Lie algebras $G=A,B,C,D$. In the…
We propose that certain twists of the su(2|2) S-matrix elements describe the beta-deformation of N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. We compute the perturbative four-loop anomalous dimension of the Konishi operator of the deformed gauge…
