We compute the tree-level bosonic S matrix in light-cone gauge for superstrings on pure-NSNS $\text{AdS}_{3}\times\text{S}^3\times\text{S}^3\times\text{S}^1$. We show that it is proportional to the identity and that it takes the same form…
WZW models are abstract conformal field theories with an infinite dimensional symmetry which accounts for their integrability, and at the same time they have a sigma model description of closed string propagation on group manifolds which,…
We analyze the spectrum of perturbative closed strings on AdS3 x S3 x T4 with Ramond-Ramond flux using integrable methods. By solving the crossing equations we determine the massless and mixed-mass dressing factors of the worldsheet S…
We investigate the physical properties of $G_2$-symmetric integrable chains with local degrees of freedom in the fundamental representation; given the typical connection between integrability and critical points, we test the model's…
We consider the worldsheet S matrix of superstrings on an AdS3xS3xT4 NS-NS background in uniform light-cone gauge. We argue that scattering is given by a CDD factor that is non-trivial only between opposite-chirality particles, yielding a…
We study a spin chain for a confining string that arises at first order in degenerate perturbation from the strong-coupling expansion of the Kogut-Susskind Hamiltonian on a square lattice in the leading large $N$ expansion. We show some…
The Wess-Zumino term of the spinning string is constructed in terms of their anomalies using an extended field-antifield formalism. A new feature appears from a fact that the non-anomalous transformations do not form a sub-group. The…
We discuss the string theory on AdS_3. In the first half of this talk, we review the SL(2,R) and the SL(2,C)/SU(2) WZW models which describe the strings on the Lorentzian and Euclidean AdS_3 without RR backgrounds, respectively. An emphasis…
We study the strong coupling expansion of large $N$ QCD in various dimensions, reformulating the Kogut-Susskind Hamiltonian on a square lattice in terms of (constrained) one dimensional spin chain models. We study the integrability…
We bootstrap the all-loop dynamic S-matrix for the homogeneous psu(1,1|2)^2 spin-chain believed to correspond to the discretization of the massive modes of string theory on AdS_3 x S^3 x T^4. The S-matrix is the tensor product of two copies…
The paper examines correspondence among correlation functions of symmetric orbifold and string theory on AdS3 described by sl(2) Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) model. We start by writing down n-point function of twist operators in the…
In this paper we discuss a universal integrable model, given by a sum of two Wess-Zumino-Witten-Novikov (WZWN) actions, corresponding to two different orbits of the coadjoint action of a loop group on its dual, and the Polyakov-Weigmann…
According to the Axionic String Anstaz (ASA) confining flux tubes in pure gluodynamics are in the same equivalence class as a new family of integrable non-critical strings, called axionic strings. In addition to translational modes, axionic…
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…
The spectrum of the integrable spin-S Heisenberg chains is completely characterized in terms of spin-1/2 spinons. In the continuum limit they form a quasi-particle basis to the higher level SU(2) Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) models. Enumerating…
The $\textrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten model realises bosonic-string theory in $\textrm{AdS}_{3}$ with pure Neveu-Schwarz-Neveu-Schwarz flux. We construct an effective action in the semi-classical limit of the model,…
We consider strings with large spin in AdS_3xS^3xM with NS-NS background. We construct the string configurations as solutions of SL(2,R) WZW theory. We compute the relation between the space-time energy and spin, and show that the anomalous…
Classical strings propagating in $AdS_{3}\times S^{3}\times T^{4}$ supported with Neveu-Schwarz-Neveu-Schwarz flux are described by a Wess-Zumino-Witten model. In this note, we study the emergence of their semiclassical $SU(2)$ spectrally…
We study integrable deformations of AdS/CFT by focusing upon three kinds of warped AdS_3 geometries, 1) space-like warped AdS_3, 2) time-like warped AdS_3 and 3) null warped AdS_3. These geometries are embedded into type IIB supergravity…
We study classical integrability of the supersymmetric U(N) $\sigma$ model with the Wess-Zumino-Witten term on full and half plane. We demonstrate the existence of nonlocal conserved currents of the model and derive general recursion…
