Generating AdS String Solutions

Understand

We use a Pohlmeyer type reduction to generate classical string solutions in AdS spacetime.

• In this framework we describe a correspondence between spikes in AdS_3 and soliton profiles of the sinh-Gordon equation.
• The null cusp string solution and its closed spinning string counterpart are related to the sinh-Gordon vacuum.
• We construct classical string solutions corresponding to sinh-Gordon solitons, antisolitons and breathers by the inverse scattering technique.
