Abstract

The massless S-matrix of the pure RR AdS3 X S3 X T4 theory is very similar but not quite the same as Fendley-Intriligator's N=2 S-matrix, in turns related to Sine-Gordon taken at a special coupling. In this short note we review the reason why supersymmetry emerges but with a fractional statistics of the particles. We then use this to obtain a very simple interpolating S-matrix between massless AdS3 and Sine-Gordon, and further find two interpolating S-matrices between these and the mixed-flux relativistic S-matrix, solving the Yang-Baxter equation all the way in-between. They are all relativistic invariant and braiding unitary, can be written in terms of particles with fractional statistics, and they might serve the purpose to embed into a parent integrable system.
