Wilson loops are calculated within the AdS/CFT correspondence by finding a classical solution to the string equations of motion in AdS_5 x S^5 and evaluating its action. An important fact is that this sigma-model used to evaluate the Wilson…

Building on arXiv:0912.1723, in this paper we investigate the AdS3/CFT2 correspondence using integrability techniques. We present an all-loop Bethe Ansatz (BA) for strings on AdS_3 x S^3 x S^3 x S^1, with symmetry D(2,1;alpha)^2, valid for…

The encoding of all possible sets of Bethe equations for a spin chain with SU(N|M) symmetry into a QQ-system calls for an expression of spin chain overlaps entirely in terms of Q-functions. We take a significant step towards deriving such a…

In this introductory review we discuss dynamical tests of the AdS_5 x S^5 string/N=4 super Yang-Mills duality. After a brief introduction to AdS/CFT we argue that semiclassical string energies yield information on the quantum spectrum of…

We investigate spin-1/2 electrons with local Hubbard interaction and variable range hopping amplitudes which decay like~$\sinh(\kappa)/\sinh(\kappa r)$. Assuming integrability the Asymptotic Bethe Ansatz approach allows us to derive the…

We consider convolution integral equations on a finite interval with a real-valued kernel of even parity, a problem equivalent to finding a Wiener-Hopf factorisation of a notoriously difficult class of $2\times 2$ matrices. The kernel…

The finite-volume thermodynamics of a massive integrable QFT is described in terms of a grand canonical ensemble of loops immersed in a torus and interacting through scattering factors associated with their intersections. The path integral…
