Vladimir Kazakov (ENS, Paris)
International Symposium Ahrenshoop “Recent Developments in String and Field Theory”
Schmöckwitz, August 27-31, 2012
Collaborations with Alexandrov, Gromov, Leurent, Tsuboi, Vieira, Volin, Zabrodin
Hirota equations in quantum integrability
• New approach to solution of integrable 2D quantum sigma-models in finite volume
• Based on discrete classical Hirota dynamics (Y-system, T-system , Baxter’s Q-functions, Plücker QQ identities, wronskian solutions,…)
+ Analyticity in spectral parameter!
• Important examples already worked out, such as su(N)×su(N) principal chiral field (PCF)
• FiNLIE equations from Y-system for exact planar AdS/CFT spectrum
• Inspiration from Hirota dynamics of gl(K|M) quantum (super)spin
chains: mKP hierarchy for T- and Q- operators

Solution of AdS/CFT T-system in terms offinite number of non-linear integral equations (FiNLIE)
• No single analyticity friendly gauge for T’s of right, left and upper bands.
We parameterize T’s of 3 bands in different, analyticity friendly gauges, also respecting their reality and certain symmetries
Gromov,V.K.,Leurent,Volin
• Original T-system is in mirror sheet (long cuts)
• Main tools: integrable Hirota dynamics + analyticity (inspired by classics and asymptotic Bethe ansatz)
Alternative approach:Balog, Hegedus
We found and checked from TBA the following relation between the upper and right/left bands Inspired by:
Bombardelli, Fioravanti, TatteoBalog, Hegedus
• Irreps (n,2) and (2,n) are in fact the same typical irrep, so it is natural to impose for our physical gauge
• From unimodularity of the quantum monodromy matrix

Analytically continued and satisfy the Hirota equations, each in its infinite strip.

Magic sheet and solution for the right band
• Only two cuts left on the magic sheet for ! • Right band parameterized: by a polynomial S(u), a gauge
function with one magic cut on ℝ and a density
• The property suggests that certain T-functions are much simpler on the “magic” sheet, with only short cuts:
Parameterization of the upper band: continuation
• Remarkably, choosing the q-functions analytic in a half-plane we get all T-functions with the right analyticity strips!
We parameterize the upper band in terms of a spectral density , the “wing exchange” function and gauge function and two polynomials P(u) and (u) encoding Bethe roots
The rest of q’s restored from Plucker QQ relations
Closing FiNLIE: sawing together 3 bands
We have expressed all T (or Y) functions through 6 functions
From analyticity of and we get, via spectral Cauchy representation, extra equations fixing all unknown functions
Numerics for FiNLIE perfectly reproduces earlier results obtained from Y-system (in TBA form):

Conclusions
• Hirota integrable dynamics, supplied by analyticity in spectral parameter, is a powerful method of solving integrable 2D quantum sigma models.
• Y-system can be reduced to a finite system of non-linear integral eqs (FiNLIE) in terms of Wronskians of Q-functions.
• For the spectral problem in AdS/CFT, FiNLIE represents the most efficient way for numerics and
weak/strong coupling expansions.
• Recently Y-system and FiNLIE used to find quark-antiquark potential in N=4 SYM
Future directions • Better understanding of analyticity of Q-functions. Quantum algebraic curve for AdS5/CFT4 ?
• Why is N=4 SYM integrable?• FiNLIE for another integrable AdS/CFT duality: 3D ABJM gauge theory• BFKL limit from Y-system?• 1/N – expansion integrable?• Gluon amlitudes, correlators …integrable?
