abstract

We consider the worldsheet S matrix of superstrings on an AdS3xS3xT4 NS-NS background in uniform light-cone gauge. We argue that scattering is given by a CDD factor that is non-trivial only between opposite-chirality particles, yielding a spin-chain-like Bethe Ansatz. Our proposal reproduces the spectrum of non-protected states computed from the Wess-Zumino-Witten description and the perturbative tree-level S matrix. This suggests that the model is an integrable deformation of a free theory similar to those arising from the T-Tbar composite operator.

Tree-level S matrix for $\lambda$-deformed AdS3 strings

hep-th · 2026-06-26 · conditional · novelty 7.0

For the λ-deformed AdS3×S3×T4 superstring, the tree-level bosonic worldsheet S matrix is purely elastic for 0≤λ<1, confirming integrability, and ill-defined at λ→1, so that limit does not capture T-dual worldsheet dynamics.

On the $AdS_3\times S^3\times S^3\times S^1$ dressing factors

hep-th · 2025-12-08 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Dressing factors are proposed for the S-matrix of massive worldsheet excitations in AdS3×S3×S3×S1 with mixed RR/NSNS flux that satisfy crossing, unitarity, and reproduce perturbative results for any radius ratio.
