Abstract:
We formulate a set of consistency conditions appropriate to worldsheet form
factors in the massive, integrable but non-relativistic, light-cone gauge fixed
AdS(5) x S**5 string theory. We then perturbatively verify that these
conditions hold, at tree level in the near-plane-wave limit and to one loop in
the near-flat (Maldacena-Swanson) limit, for a number of specific cases. We
further study the form factors in the weakly coupled dual description,
verifying that the relevant conditions naturally hold for the one-loop
Heisenberg spin-chain. Finally, we note that the near-plane-wave expressions
for the form factors, when further expanded in small momentum or, equivalently,
large charge density, reproduce the thermodynamic limit of the spin-chain
results at leading order.
