Description

Recent years have seen remarkable progress in applying integrability techniques to the AdS3/CFT2 duality by studying the two-dimensional QFT on the string worldsheet. This required understanding (integrable) scattering processes which involve non-relativistic massless modes on the worldsheet. I will review this progress in the case of AdS3xS3xT4, emphasizing recent results on massless modes, their dressing factors and Bethe Ansatz. I will also discuss more general integrable backgrounds, and speculate on how a spin-chain description may help us to better identify their dual CFT2s in the planar limit and to explore their moduli space.
