An Integrability Primer for the Gauge-Gravity Correspondence: an Introduction

Understand

We introduce a series of articles reviewing various aspects of integrable models relevant to the AdS/CFT correspondence.

• Topics covered in these reviews are: classical integrability, Yangian symmetry, factorized scattering, the Bethe ansatz, the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz, and integrable structures in (conformal) quantum field theory.
• In the present article we highlight how these concepts have found application in AdS/CFT, and provide a brief overview of the material contained in this series.
