Can be mapped to a spin chain state:

The one-loop dilatation operator coincides with Heisenberg spin chain Hamiltonian

Sklyanin separation of variables allows to factorize the wave function

where

In the simplest case

Two solutions: polynomial singular solution

From weak coupling[Beisert, Sctaudacher]

Beisert, Staudacher;Beisert, Hernandez, Lopez;Beisert,Eden,Staudacher

I.e. from the asymptotical spectrum (infinite R) we can compute the Ground state energy for ANY finite volume!

Is it the final answer to the spectral problem???

+ discontinuity relations Cavaglià, Fioravanti, Tateo

1) We start exploring all DOS of the string

2) Poles open into cuts

Heisenberg, SYM Classical stringQuantum Spectral Curve

3) Need to know monodromies, when going under the cuts

Generalization to finite coupling[N.G., Kazakov, Leuren, Volin]

Charges in S5 are integer Charges in AdS5 contain anom.dimension

“Miraculous” simplification[N.G., Kazakov, Leuren, Volin]

The system reduced to 4+6 functions:

Analytical continuation to the next sheet:

Similarly to the classical curve

2) Find and

Short-cut: Solve 4th order FDE:

where:

Examples: near-BPS expansion

Spectrum for different spins: [Brower, Polchinski, Strassler, -Itan `06]

Important class of single trace operators:

Twist-2 operators

In the BPS limit: entire periodic function

For in the small S limit:

Solution:

- simple Riemann-Hilbert problem

Near BPS limit: small S

Result:Similar to the localization results!

Small P’s imply small discontinuity of mu:

BFKL regime:

So that: Resumming to all loops terms

In this regime SYM is undistinguishable from the real QCD

[Kotikov, Lipatov, Rej, Staudacher, Velizhanin]

Small coupling no branch cuts

The problem is essentially about gluons, i.e. it is more natural to pass to AdS

S= -1 is when for the first time this ansatz is consistent for non-integer ∆

Can be solved explicitly

Another important difference is the position of the branch points:

Conclusions• QSC unifies all integrable structures: BFKL/ local

operators, classical strings/spin chains. Beisert-Eden-Staudascher equations can be derived from it in complete generality.

• Mysterious relation between ABJM and N=4 SYM integrable structures. Sign for an unifying theory? What is QSC for AdS3?

• Q-functions should give a way to the exact wave function in separated variables. Can we use it to compute general 3-point correlation functions to all loops?

• Established links between exact results in integrability and localization. Does there exist a unified structure which works for both non-BPS and non-planar? Discretization of Zhukovsky cut?
