Motivation and results
• Thermodynamical Bethe ansatz (TBA) is a powerful tool to get finite size
solutions in relativistic sigma-models, including the spectrum of excited states.

• TBA as a Y-system for finite size 2D field theories
Al.Zamolodchikov’90
• Subject of the talk: TBA as Hirota dynamics: Solution of finite size O(4) sigma
model (equivalent to SU(2)×SU(2) Principle Chiral Field) for a general state.
New and a very general method for such problems!
Gromov,V.K.,Vieira’08
• Hirota eq. and Y-system are examples of integrable discrete classical dynamics.
We extensively use this fact.

• A step towards the spectrum of anomalous dimensions of ALL operators of N=4
Super-Yang –Mills gauge theory, or its AdS/CFT dual superstring sigma model.
S-matrix for SU(2)xSU(2) principal chiral field
• S-matrix:
Al.&A.Zamolodchikov’79
• Scalar (dressing) factor:
Satisfies Yang-Baxter, unitarity, crossing and analyticity:
• Footnote: Compare to AdS/CFT:
SPSU(2,2|4)(p1,p2) = S02(p1,p2) SSU(2|2) (p1,p2) ×SSU(2|2) (p1,p2)
Free energy – ground state
R=∞
I.e. from the asymptotic spectrum (R=∞) we can compute the
ground state energy for ANY finite volume L!
Asymptotic Bethe Ansatz eqs. (L → ∞)
• Periodicity:
• Bethe equations from periodicity
•
-variables describe U(1)-sector (main circle of S3 in O(4) model),
-“magnon” variables – the transverse excitations on S3, or SU(2)xSU(2)
• Energy and momentum of a state:
Complex formation in (almost) infinite volume
• Magnon bound states for u-wing and v-wing,
in full analogy with Heisenberg chain
• Thermodynamic equations for densities of bound states
and their holes w.r.t.
• Minimization of the free energy at finite temperature T=1/L
SU(2)×SU(2) Principal Chiral Field in finite volume

• Relate

• For each wing fix the gauge to make
• Find a gauge

• T-system splits into two wings with
• Y-system trivially gives
• Main BAE at large L:
• Auxiliary BAE – from polynomiality of

Analyticity (only for one wing at a time)
• From Lax:
- Baxter eq.
- “Jump” eq.
• Spectral representation relating
with the spectral density
from determinant solution of Hirota eq.
Calculating G(x)
• Choosing 3 different contours for 3 different positions of argument:
We get from Cauchy theorem
Same for v-wing
Gauge equivalence of SU(2)L and SU(2)R wings
• Wing exchange symmetry:
• Gauge transformation
relating two wings:
• Can be recasted into a Destri-deVega type equation for
Bethe Ansatz Equations at finite L
• Main Bethe Ansatz equation (for rapidities of particles)
• Auxiliary Bethe equations for magnons
(from regularity of
on the physical strip):
• Our method works for all excited states and gives their unified description
Conclusions and Prospects
•
Hirota discrete classical dynamics: A powerful tool for studying 2d integrable
field theories. Useful for TBA and for quantum fusion
•
The method gives a rather systematic tool for study of 2d integrable field
theories at finite volume.
•
We found Luscher corrections for arbitrary state.
•
Y-system and TBA eqs. for gl(K|M) supersymmetric sigma-models are
straightforward from Hirota eq. with “fat hook” boundary conditions.
•
Our main motivation: dimensions of “short” operators (ex.: Konishi operator)
in N=4 SYM using S-matrix for dual superstring on AdS5xS5 (wrapping). Nonstandard R-matrices, like Hubbard or su(2|2)ext S-matrix in AdS/CFT, are
also described by Hirota eq. with different B.C. Hopefully the full AdS/CFT
TBA as well.
TBA should solve the problem.

Finite size operators and TBA
• ABA Does not work for “short” operators, like Konishi’s
tr [Z,X]2, due to wrapping problem.
• Finite size effects from S-matrix (Luscher correction)
