Abstract:

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 to determine the amplitudes at any value of

the 't Hooft coupling constant. A tentative plan for the lectures is :

1) 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.
