MIB: FLUX TUBE METHODS FOR SCATTERING AMPLITUDES IN PLANAR N=4 SYM THEORY

BENJAMIN BASSO, Laboratoire del Physique Theorique, Paris: In these lectures I will give an introduction to the scattering amplitudes/light-like polygonal Wilson loops duality in planar N=4 SYM theory and explain how the integrability of the flux tube underlying the Wilson loop picture can be used t determine the amplitudes at any value of the Hooft coupling costant. A tentative plan for the lectures is: !) Scattering amplitudes/Wilson loops duality 2) Flux tube and OPE 3) Pentagon decomposition and its integrable bootstrap 4) Features of the weak and strong coupling dynamics.
