Review of AdS/CFT Integrability, Chapter IV.2: Deformations, Orbifolds and Open Boundaries
Konstantinos Zoubos
Abstract
We review the role of integrability in the planar spectral problem of four-dimensional superconformal gauge theories besides N=4 SYM. The cases considered include the Leigh-Strassler marginal deformations of N=4 SYM, quiver theories which arise as orbifolds of AdS5xS5 on the dual gravity side, as well as various theories involving open spin chains.
