Exact results in extended holography

The study of integrable models in the AdS/CFT correspondence has provided deep insights into
string theory, the holographic principle, and the finite coupling behavior of quantum field theory. The
proposed research group would aim to extend this approach beyond supersymmetric and conformal
theories by studying integrable deformations of the AdS5xS5 superstring, and thereby produce both
new theories and new perspectives on well-established ones. The goals of this programme are A)
to develop the AdS/CFT interpretation of integrable string deformations, B) to determine the effect of
these deformations on observables in both string theory and gauge theory, C) to develop the T-dual
string interpretation of non-Weyl-invariant deformations, and D) to extend these deformation methods
beyond integrability, and thereby uncover thus-far elusive string backgrounds.
