Mirror thermodynamic Bethe ansatz for AdS3/CFT2
Sergey Frolov, Alessandro Sfondrini
Abstract
A bstract We consider superstrings on the pure-Ramond-Ramond AdS 3 × S 3 × T 4 background. Using the recently-proposed dressing factors for the worldsheet S matrix, we formulate the string hypothesis for the mirror Bethe-Yang equations, and use it to derive the canonical mirror thermodynamic Bethe ansatz (TBA) equations of the model. For the first time, these equations account for all massive and massless modes of the model, and do not resort to any limit or special kinematics. We also discuss the simplified mirror TBA equations and the Y-system of the model.
