Open spin chains from determinant like operators in ABJM theory

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: We study the mixing problem of the determinantlike operators in ABJM theory to two-loop order in the scalar sector. The gravity duals of these operators are open strings attached to the maximal giant graviton, which is a D4-brane wrapping a ${\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}}^{2}$ inside ${\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}}^{3}$ in our case. The anomalous dimension matrix of these operators can be regarded as an open spin chain Hamiltonian. We provide strong evidence of its integrability based on coordinate Bethe ansatz method and boundary Yang-Baxter equations.
