Alternative approach:
Balog, Hegedus
• Use Wronskian solution in terms of 2𝑁 Q-functions
• It is crucial to know their analyticity properties. The following choice appears
to render the right analyticity strips of Y- and T-functions:
density at analyticity
boundary
-plane
analytic in the upper half-plane
polynomials
fixing a state (for vacuum 𝑆𝑘 𝑢 =
-plane
𝑢𝑘−1
𝑘−1 !
)
• From reality of Y-functions:
analytic in the lower half-plane
• 𝑁 − 1 nonlinear integral equations on spectral densities ρ𝑘 can be obtained
e.g. from the condition of left-right symmetry
true for 𝑆𝑈(𝑁)𝐿 ⟺ 𝑆𝑈(𝑁)𝑅 symmetric states (can be generalized to any state)
• We obtain a finite system of NLIE (somewhat similar to Destri-deVega eqs.)
• Good for analytic study at large or small volume 𝐿 and for numerics at any 𝐿

Solution of AdS/CFT T-system in terms of
finite number of non-linear integral equations (FiNLIE)
• Main tools: integrable Hirota dynamics + analyticity
(inspired by classics and asymptotic Bethe ansatz)
• No single analyticity friendly gauge for T’s of right, left and upper bands.
We parameterize T’s of 3 bands in different, analyticity friendly gauges,
also respecting their reality and certain symmetries.
• Quantum analogue of classical
symmetry:
continued on special magic sheet in labels
can be analytically
• Operators/states of AdS/CFT are characterized by certain poles and zeros
of Y- and T-functions fixed by exact Bethe equations:
Inspired by:
Bombardelli, Fioravanti, Tatteo
Alternative approach:
Balog, Hegedus
Magic sheet and solution for the right band
• The property
suggests that certain T-functions are much simpler
on the “magic” sheet, with only short cuts:
•
Wronskian solution for the right band in terms of two Q-functions with one
magic cut on ℝ
parameterized by a polynomial 𝑃𝑀−1 and two spectral densities 𝜌1 , 𝜌2
Parameterization of the upper band: continuation
• Remarkably, choosing the upper band Q-functions analytic in a half-plane
we get all T-functions with the right analyticity strips!
 All Q’s in the upper band of T-hook can be parametrized by 2 densities.
Closing FiNLIE: sawing together 3 bands
• Finally, we can close the FiNLIE system by using reality of T-functions
and certain symmetries. For example, for left-right symmetric states
• The states/operators are fixed by introducing certain zeros and poles
to Y-functions, and hence to T- and Q-functions (exact Bethe roots).
• Dimension can be extracted from the asymptotics:
 FiNLIE perfectly reproduces earlier results obtained
from Y-system (in TBA form). It is a perfect mean to generate
weak and strong coupling expansions of anomalous dimensions
in N=4 SYM

Conclusions
•
Hirota integrable dynamics, supplied by analyticity in spectral parameter, is a powerful method
of solving integrable 2D quantum sigma models.
•
For spin chains (mKP structure): a curious alternative to the algebraic Bethe ansatz of
Leningrad school
•
Y-system for sigma-models can be reduced to a finite system of non-linear integral eqs
(FiNLIE) in terms of Wronskians of Q-functions.
•
For the spectral problem in AdS/CFT, FiNLIE represents the most efficient way for numerics
and weak/strong coupling expansions.
•
Recently Y-system and FiNLIE used to find quark-antiquark potential in N=4 SYM
