Abstract: Computing non-protected observables in AdS/CFT in presence of RR background fluxes is notoriously hard. For the spectrum of integrable backgrounds, Bethe ansatz techniques provide a framework for doing so. For correlation functions, the hexagon formalism is a promising new approach. I will review how both these techniques can be applied to the AdS3/CFT2 correspondence, and how this can complement the worldsheet-CFT techniques that can be used for WZW models.
The talk will be on the blackboard. It will be an overview and will not assume expertise in integrability techniques. Link to the Event Video |
