Quantum giant magnons

OPEN ACCESS

The giant magnons are classical solitons of the O(N) sigma-model, which play an important role in the AdS/CFT correspondence. We study quantum giant magnons first at large N and then exactly using Bethe Ansatz, where giant magnons can be interpreted as holes in the Fermi sea. We also identify a solvable limit of Bethe Ansatz in which it describes a weakly-interacting Bose gas at zero temperature. The examples include the O(N) model at large-N, weakly interacting non-linear Schrödinger model, and nearly isotropic XXZ spin chain in the magnetic field.
