We examine the Hamiltonian structures of some Calogero-Moser and Ruijsenaars-Schneider N-body integrable models. We propose explicit formulations of the bihamiltonian structures for the discrete models, and field-theoretical realizations of these structures. We discuss the relevance of these realizations as collective-field theory for the discrete models.
We review some recent work and techniques for constructing dynamical string solutions in AdS spacetime. These solutions generalize the folded string and multi-spike solutions of GKP and Kruczenski. The methods developed for constructing these dynamical solutions are based on Pohlmeyer reduction to integrable sinh-Gordon type equations. The integrability of the equations is seen as the crucial tool for reconstruction of the string configurations. We discuss the physical meaning of these dynamical spike solutions and the question of their moduli space.
According to the Alday-Maldacena program the strong coupling limit of Super Yang-Mills scattering amplitudes is given by minimal area surfaces in AdS spacetime with a boundary consisting of a momentum space polygon. The string equations in AdS systematically reduce to coupled Toda type equations whose Euclidean classical solutions are then of direct relevance. While in the simplest case of AdS_3 exact solutions were known from earlier studies of the sinh-Gordon equation, there exist at present no similar exact forms for the generalized Toda equations related to AdS_d with d>=4. In this paper we develop a series method for the solution to those equations and evaluate their contribution to the finite piece of the worldsheet area. For the known sinh-Gordon case the method is seen to give results in excellent agreement with the exact answer.
We construct a general class of solutions for a classical string in AdS_3 spacetime. The construction is based on a Pohlmeyer type reduction, with the sinh-Gordon model providing the general N-soliton solutions. The corresponding exact spiky string configurations are then reconstructed through the inverse scattering method. It is shown that the string moduli are determined entirely by those of the solitons.
We pursue the question of multi-magnon dynamics, focusing on the simplest case of magnons moving on RxS2 and working at the semiclassical level. Through a Pohlmeyer reduction, the problem reduces to another well known integrable field theory, the sine-Gordon model, which can be exactly described through an N-body model of Calogero type. The two theories coincide at the level of equations of motion, but physical quantities like the energies (of magnons and solitons) and the associated phase shifts are different. We start from the equivalence of the two systems at the level of equations of motion and require that the new (string theory) model reproduces the correct magnon energies and the phase shift, both of which differ from the soliton case. From the comparison of energies we suggest a Hamiltonian, and from requiring the correct phase shift we are led to a nontrivial Poisson structure representing the magnons.
In this contribution we describe some soliton based techniques for generating classical AdS string solutions. The methods introduced are useful for further understanding of rotating AdS configurations with spikes which correspond to higher twist operators in SYM theory. The main identification (accomplished in arXiv:0712.1193) between solitons and string spikes is reviewed and extended. We describe how inverse scattering technique can be applied for reconstructing AdS string configurations from soliton solutions of sinh-Gordon theory (in the example of ${\rm AdS}_3$).
We consider the question of reconstructing (cubic) SUGRA interactions in AdS/CFT. The method we introduce is based on the matrix model maps (MMP) which were previously successfully employed at the linearized level. The strategy is to start with the map for 1/2 BPS configurations which is exactly known (to all orders) in the hamiltonian framework. We then use the extension of the matrix model map with the corresponding Ward identities to completely specify the interaction. A central point in this construction is the non-vanishing of off-shell interactions (even for highest-weight states).
We use a Pohlmeyer type reduction to generate classical string solutions in AdS spacetime. In this framework we describe a correspondence between spikes in AdS_3 and soliton profiles of the sinh-Gordon equation. The null cusp string solution and its closed spinning string counterpart are related to the sinh-Gordon vacuum. We construct classical string solutions corresponding to sinh-Gordon solitons, antisolitons and breathers by the inverse scattering technique. The breather solutions can also be reproduced by the sigma model dressing method.
We demonstrate the applicability of the dressing method to the problem of constructing new classical solutions for Euclidean worldsheets in anti-de Sitter space. The motivation stems from recent work of Alday and Maldacena, who studied gluon scattering amplitudes at strong coupling using a generalization of a particular worldsheet found by Kruczenski whose edge traces a path composed of light-light segments on the boundary of AdS. We dress this `giant gluon' to find new solutions in AdS_3 and AdS_5 whose edges trace out more complicated, timelike curves on the boundary. These solutions may be used to calculate certain Wilson loops via AdS/CFT.
We argue from two complementary viewpoints of Holography that the 2-point correlation functions of 1/2-BPS multi-trace operators in the large-N (planar) limit are nothing but the (Wick-rotated) S-matrix elements of c=1 matrix model. On the bulk side, we consider an Euclideanized version of the so-called bubbling geometries and show that the corresponding droplets reach the conformal boundary. Then the scattering matrix of fluctuations of the droplets gives directly the two-point correlators through the GKPW prescription. On the Yang-Mills side, we show that the two-point correlators of holomorphic and anti-holomorphic operators are essentially equivalent with the transformation functions between asymptotic in- and out-states of c=1 matrix model. Extension to non-planar case is also discussed.
Matrix models and related Spin-Calogero-Sutherland models are of major relevance in a variety of subjects, ranging from condensed matter physics to QCD and low dimensional string theory. They are characterized by integrability and exact solvability. Their continuum, field theoretic representations are likewise of definite interest. In this paper we describe various continuum, field theoretic representations of these models based on bosonization and collective field theory techniques. We compare various known representations and describe some nontrivial applications.
We study in more detail the dynamics of chiral primaries of the D1/D5 system. From the CFT given by the $S_{n}$ orbifold a study of correlators resulted in an interacting (collective) theory of chiral operators. In $AdS_{3}\times S^{3}$ SUGRA we concentrate on general 1/2 BPS configurations described in terms of a fundamental string .We first establish a correspondence with the linerized field fluctuations and then present the nonlinear analysis. We evaluate in detail the symplectic form of the general degrees of freedom in Sugra and confirm the appearance of chiral bosons. We then discuss the apearance of interactions and the cubic vertex,in correspondence with the $S_{N}$ collective field theory representation.
We discuss an extension of a map between between BPS states and free fermions. The extension involves states associated with a full two matrix problem which are constructed using a sequence of integral equations. A two parameter set of matrix model eigenstates is then related to states in SUGRA. Their wavefunctions are characterized by nontrivial dependence on the radial coordinate of AdS and of the Sphere respectively. A kernel defining a one to one map between these states is then constructed.
We compute $e^{-AN}$ corrections to the Gross-Taylor 1/N expansion of the paritition function of two-dimensional SU(N) and U(N) Yang Mills theory. We find a very similar structure of mixing between holomorphic and anti-holomorphic sectors as that described by Vafa for the 1/N expansion. Some of the non-perturbative terms are suggestive of D-strings wrapping the $T^2$ of the 2dYM but blowing up into a fuzzy geometry by the Myers effect in the directions transverse to the $T^2$.
Following the recent work of hep-th/0405076 we discuss the emergence of D-brane instanton solutions in c=0 noncritical string theory. Our emphasis is on finding the D-instanton effects in a field theoretic setting. Using the framework of single matrix collective field theory (CSFT) we exhibit the appearance of such solutions. Some subtle issues regarding the form of the field theory equations, the comparison with string equations and the importance of a finite N exclusion principle are also discussed.
We analyze the possibility of extracting S matrices on pp waves and flat space from SYM correlators. For pp waves, there is a subtlety in defining S matrices, but we can certainly obtain observables. Only extremal correlators survive the pp wave limit. A first quantized string approach is inconclusive, producing in the simplest form results that vanish in the pp wave limit. We define a procedure to get S matrices from SYM correlators, both for flat space and for pp waves, generalizing a procedure due to Giddings. We analyze nonrenormalized correlators: 2 and 3 -point functions and extremal correlators. For the extremal 3-point function, the SYM and AdS results for the S matrix match for the angular dependence, but the energy dependence doesn't.
We continue the development of a systematic procedure for deriving closed string pp wave string field theory from the large N Berenstein-Maldacena-Nastase limit. In the present paper the effects of the Yang-Mills interaction are considered in detail for general BMN states. The SFT interaction with the appropriate operator insertion at the interaction point is demonstrated.
We develop a systematic procedure for deriving canonical string field theory from large N matrix models in the Berenstein-Maldacena-Nastase limit. The approach, based on collective field theory, provides a generalization of standard string field theory.
