A study of integrable form factors in massless relativistic AdS 3

Abstract

Abstract We show that the massless integrable sector of the AdS 3 × S 3 × T 4 superstring theory, which admits a non-trivial relativistic limit, provides a setting where it is possible to determine exact minimal solutions to the form factor axioms, in integral form, based on analyticity considerations, along the same lines of ordinary relativistic integrable models. We construct in full detail the formulas for the two- and three-particle case, and show the similarities as well as the differences with respect to the off-shell Bethe ansatz procedure of Babujian et al. We show that our expressions pass a series of non-trivial consistency checks which are substantially more involved than in the traditional case. We speculate on the problems concerned in a possible generalisation to an arbitrary number of particles, and on a possible connection with the hexagon programme.
