Description

In this talk, I will investigate scattering amplitudes in strongly coupled N=4 Super Yang-Mills. To leading order, the amplitude at strong coupling is given in terms of a minimal surface in AdS5. The area of this surface can be calculated by a set of non-linear integral equations, which, however, do not allow an analytic solution for arbitrary kinematics. I will demonstrate that for special kinematics these equations simplify drastically and become algebraic equations, which are closely related to algebraic Bethe ansatz equations.
