"The Space-time S-matrix and the Flux-tube S-matrix at finite coupling":
In planar N=4 Super-Yang-Mills theory there exists a map between gluon scattering amplitudes and null polygonal Wilson loops. This remarkable duality allows one to make an important step forward by Operator-Product-Expanding the scattering amplitudes.This action breaks down the four-dimensional amplitudes into a sequence of two-dimensional processes taking place on the flux tube sourced by the dual Wilson loops. In this talk, I shall explain how the integrable structures of the flux tube theory can be used for computing scattering amplitudes at any value of the coupling constant.
