Quantum Field Theories (QFTs) in Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime are often strongly coupled when the radius of AdS is large, and few methods are available to study them. In this work, we develop a Hamiltonian truncation method to compute the…
One of the most striking but mysterious properties of the sinh-Gordon model (ShG) is the $b \rightarrow 1/b$ self-duality of its $S$-matrix, of which there is no trace in its Lagrangian formulation. Here $b$ is the coupling appearing in the…
Using twisted commutation relations we show that the quantum sinh-Gordon model on noncommutative space is integrable, and compute the exact two-particle scattering matrix. The model possesses a strong-weak duality, just like its commutative…
We propose a formula relating scattering S-matrix amplitudes to correlators of a conformal field theory. The proposal implements a flat limit of the field theory, providing an indirect microscopic description of gravitational theories with…
We construct a relativistic scattering theory based on a q deformation and large string tension limit of the magnon S-matrix of the string world sheet theory in AdS_5 x S^5. The S-matrix falls naturally into a previously studied class…
