Luscher corrections for multiparticle states

Look at relativistic integrable theories solvable by the excited stateThermodynamic Bethe Ansatz (TBA) e.g. sinh-Gordon, SLYM

Answer given in terms of a nonlinear integral equation

Solve by iteration:

0th order −→ Bethe equations

1st order −→ two main effects:1 shift of the momenta {pi}2 a direct F-term like virtual contribution to the energy

3 in addition, residues of the above at possible poles...

Highly universal structure of the leading correction −→ generalize to AdScase

Conclusions

The appearance of the transcendentality structure of

∆wrapping = (324 + 864ζ(3)− 1440ζ(5))g8

is far from obvious. A similar computation using su(2) bound states in thesymmetric representation leads to extremely complicated expressions

Finite size effects involve a loop integral over all states in the theory – thusthey form a nontrivial test of the completeness of the worldsheet theory

This is especially important at weak coupling, where e.g. all higher boundstates contribute equally

In particular, magnons and Q bound states seem to form a complete basis ofasymptotic states of the superstring worldsheet QFT (e.g. there does notseem to be a place for a composite structure of the magnons)

The computation of the finite size effects through Luscher corrections is of adistinctly (2D) quantum field theoretical nature

The agreement with the weak coupling perturbative gauge theory result is anextremely nontrivial test of AdS/CFT!
