SUMMARY:Alessandro Sfondrini\, HU\, Berlin - Towards integrability for AdS3
 /CFT2
DESCRIPTION:Towards integrability for AdS3/CFT2\nGravity theories on 3-dime
 nsional anti-de Sitter (AdS3) played an important role in the understandin
 g of black hole physics\, and provided an early example of holography. The
 ir dual 2-dimensional conformal field theories (CFT2) are quite special\, 
 since they enjoy (suitable super-symmetric extensions of) Virasoro symmetr
 y.\n\nRecently\, the interest in this duality was revived when Babichenko\
 , Stefanski and Zarembo showed that the maximally super-symmetric AdS3 bac
 kgrounds yield classically integrable string non-linear sigma models.\n\nI
  will review the progress in establishing quantum integrability for the pl
 anar sector of these string theories\, with particular emphasis on the AdS
 3xS^3xT^4 case\, for which the all-loop worldsheet S matrix was recently d
 etermined.\n\nI will also discuss more general backgrounds\, as well as po
 ssible developments including the ones related to black-hole physics\, to 
 the study of dual CFT2s\, and to higher-spin theories.
