On integrability in gauge/string correspondence

In this Thesis, we present some direct quantitative tests for AdS/CFT correspondence using the newly discovered “integrability”. We shall begin by explaining the ideas of algebraic Bethe ansatz and scattering matrix in both gauge and string theories, and discussions how they enable us to extract the...
