We observe chaos in the phase space of the circular string implying non-integrability of string dynamics. The chaotic behaviour in phase space is controlled by energy as well as the deforming parameter ˆγ. We further show that the point like object exhibits non-chaotic behaviour. Finally we calculate the Lyapunov exponent for both extended and point like object in support of our first result.

Introduction The AdS/CFT correspondence is a powerful technique that provides an interplay between the gauge theory without gravity and a string theory (supergravity theory) with gravity[],[2],[3]. The most studied example is the duality between type IIB string theory on AdS 5 S 5 and N =4 supersymmetric Yang Mills (SYM) theory in D = 4. It is particularly well understood in the strong coupling limit of the field theory side. In this connection integrability on both sides of the duality has played a key role in the understanding the duality better. In particular it has helped us in getting close to a solution of N = 4 SYM in the planar limit [4]. The fact that both sides of the duality are integrable in the planar limit leaves us interested in looking at the theories more closely. Over the past few years there has been enormous amount of work devoted towards the advancement of integrability and that in turn has opened up the possibility of looking the integrability techniques in a much wider context, e.g. looking the theories, beyond the planar limit and in the background of deformationed of AdS. In this context the semiclassical strings have played very important role. Semiclassical quantization is one of the most popular approach to probe general string backgrounds with various background fluxes. Classical solutions and trajectories of rotating strings, and D-branes, have played an important role in understanding the AdS/CFT correspondence which was otherwise obscure at times. Semiclassical quantization has played a vital role in the study of BMN, [5], GKP [3] and rigidly rotating strings [6] which can all be understood as classical trajectories of the the rotating and pulsating string. These classical trajectories have been one

3 of the main ingredients of the understanding of the semiclassical AdS/CFT from the string theory prospective. In general, the string dynamics in curved space are described by the help of 2d sigma models where equations of motion in general are non-linear. Integrability plays an major role in finding out the classical solutions of the non linear equations, correlation functions, scattering amplitudes and spectrum. Therefore it is important to check the integrability of string sigma model in a specific background. In the context of integrability on the other hand, it is a common fact that the phase space of most mechanical systems is not integrable and thus the role of chaotic classical trajectories has been investigated in detail in the past. In general a system is said to be integrable if the number of degrees of freedom is same as the number of conserved charges. String sigma model in two dimensions has infinite number of degrees of freedom and the system is integrable on arbitrary backgrounds only when it has infinite number of conserved charges which happens to be the case in AdS 5 S 5 [7]. The standard way to show the integrability of 2d-sigma model in arbitrary background is to construct a lax pair which generates infinite number of conserved charges. But to show the existence of Lax pair is quite comber some. Infact the necessary condition for a system to be integrable is when all of its subsystem are integrable. In other words, a system is said to be non-integrable if at least one of its subsystem is non-integrable. Therefore the general proof of the non integrability of a two dimensional sigma model in arbitrary background can be done by first reducing it to a d subsystem and then showing the d subsystem is non-integrable. This can be done either by doing numerical analysis of string motion in phase space or by analytic method using normal variational equation(nve). This numerical approach has been particularly useful in various cosmological and black hole backgrounds. Using numerical method it has been shown that phase space of a test circular cosmic string in Schwarzschild black hole geometry is chaotic [8],[9],[0]. It has further been found analytically that the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) cosmological model is completely integrable only for some special value of the cosmological constant []. The evidence of chaotic behaviour has been noticed in AdS 5 T, background [2] and in its Penrose limit [3]. Applying the analytic technique it has been shown the AdS 5 X 5 geometries are non-integrable, where X 5 is in a general class of fivedimensional Einstein spaces [4]. In case of non-relativistic theories it has been shown the integrability nature depends on dynamical critical exponent [5],[6]. Taking classical spinning string solution in various supergravity backgrounds [7] it has been shown the phase spaces are chaotic and hence non-integrable. More recently the integrability of curved brane backgrounds has been studied and it is found except for some specific limit the extended string motion is non-integrable while the point like string dynamics is always integrable [8]. Apart from these there are number of instances where the integrability is studied by the help of either analytical method or numerical analysis[9],[20],[2]. Motivated by the recent interest in studying the 2

4 classical integrability of string motion in various backgrounds and its connection with chaotic motion of the test string in generic deformed background and otherwise, we study the motion of classical circular string in ˆγ deformed AdS 5 T, background. We have shown numerically the appearance of chaos for a circular string moving in the deformed background. The rest of the paper is organised as follows. In section 2 we write down ˆγ deformed AdS 5 T, background geometry and the fields. In section 3 we study a consistent string sigma model, taking a semi-classical circular string ansatz. We write down the equations of motion for the test string for the given ansatz and construct all the conserved charges. Section 4 is devoted to the study of chaos in the classical string dynamics by two different techniques, namely first by looking at the Poincare section and then by studying the Lyapunov exponent. Finally, in section 5 we conclude with some comments. 2. The ˆγ deformed AdS 5 T, background The AdS 5 T, geometry is the gravity dual of N = super symmetric Yang-Mills theory, which arises from the near horizon geometry of a stack of N number of D3- branes at the tip of the conifold, where the base of the conic is T,. The metric of AdS 5 T, is given by ds 2 = ds 2 AdS 5 + ds 2 T, ds 2 AdS 5 = cosh 2 ρdt 2 + dρ 2 + sinh 2 ρdω 2 3 ds 2 T = 2 [ ] dθ 2, 6 i + sin 2 θ i dφ 2 i + 9 [dψ + cos θ dφ + cos θ 2 dφ 2 ] 2. (2.) i= The internal manifold T, is a five dimensional Sasaki-Einstein manifold and is the coset space (SU(2) SU(2))/U(). Applying the TsT transformation to this gives rise to the so called ˆγ deformed AdS 5 T, metric and NS-NS two forms (b mn ) [22],[23]. ds 2 = ds 2 AdS + G(ˆγ) [ 6 2 (G (ˆγ)dθi 2 + sin 2 θ i dφ 2 i ) i= + ] 9 (dψ + cos θ dφ + cos θ 2 dφ 2 ) 2 + ˆγ 2 sin2 θ sin 2 θ 2 dψ 2. (2.2) 324 [ cos θ2 sin 2 θ b mn = ˆγG(ˆγ) dφ dψ cos θ sin 2 θ ( sin 2 θ sin 2 θ cos2 θ sin 2 θ 2 + cos 2 θ 2 sin 2 θ 54 dφ 2 dψ ) dφ dφ 2 ], (2.3) 3

5 where G(ˆγ) + ˆγ 2 ( sin 2 θ sin 2 θ 2 36 ) + cos2 θ sin 2 θ 2 + cos 2 θ 2 sin 2 θ. 54 The above deformed geometry has also been achieved by making a deformation of classical Yang-Baxter sigma model as described in [24]. 3. The string sigma-model and circular string In this section we shall start our analysis by making the following ansatz for the circular string ρ = 0, θ i = θ i (τ), φ = α σ, φ 2 = α 2 σ, ψ = ψ(τ). (3.) It shows that the string is localized at the center of the AdS whereas it extends along the two angles(φ, φ 2 ) of deformed T, with winding numbers α and α 2 respectively. Here we have chosen such type of ansatz because we can truncate 2d sigma-model to d dynamical Hamiltonian system and the same time we can study its dynamics in phase space. The 2d sigma-model action in generic background is written as S = 4πα dτdσ [ hh αβ g mn α x m β x n ɛ αβ α x m β x n b mn ], (3.2) where m, n are the spacetime indices. Further in conformal gauge h αβ =diag(-,) and as usual ɛ τσ = ɛ στ =. Now we can write the Lagrangian from the action as ṫ2 L = ( θ 2 + θ 2) 2 G(ˆγ) 36 (α2 sin 2 θ + α2 2 sin 2 θ 2 ) G(ˆγ) 8 (α2 + α2) 2 G(ˆγ) ( ) 9 α α 2 cos θ cos θ 2 + ψ 2 G(ˆγ) 8 + ˆγ2 sin 2 θ sin 2 θ ˆγG(ˆγ) ( ) α2 cos θ sin 2 θ 2 α cos θ 2 sin 2 θ ψ. (3.3) 54 The canonical momenta are introduced as p τ m = L ( τ x m ) = hh τα α x n g mn ɛ τβ β x n b mn. (3.4) Using canonical momenta and Lagrangian density we can get the Hamiltonian density, H = E (p2 θ + p 2 θ 2 ) + G(ˆγ) + G(ˆγ) 8 (α2 + α 2 2) + 36 (α2 sin 2 θ + α2 2 sin 2 θ 2 ) + G(ˆγ) 9 α α 2 cos θ cos θ 2 ( ) 2 J ˆγG(γ) (α 54 2 cos θ sin 2 θ 2 α cos θ 2 sin 2 θ ) ( ). 2G(ˆγ) + ˆγ2 sin 2 θ sin 2 θ (3.5) 4

Further, the equations motion of θ and θ 2 are non-trivial and are given by, ( θ = G(ˆγ) 3 α2 cos θ sin θ 2 3 α α 2 cos θ 2 sin θ ˆγ2 sin 2θ sin 2 θ 2 ψ ˆγ ) 9 (α 2 sin 2 θ 2 sin θ + α cos θ 2 sin 2θ ) ψ G θ F (3.) where ( θ 2 = G(ˆγ) 3 α2 2 cos θ 2 sin θ α α 2 cos θ sin θ 2 ˆγ2 sin 2θ 2 sin 2 θ ψ 2 08 ˆγ ) 9 (α sin 2 θ sin θ 2 + α 2 cos θ sin 2θ 2 ) ψ G θ2 F (3.2) 54ˆγ 2 (3 + cos 2θ 2 ) sin 2θ G θ = (08 + 2ˆγ 2 cos 2 θ 2 sin 2 θ + ˆγ 2 cos 2 θ sin 2 θ 2 + 3ˆγ 2 sin 2 θ sin 2 θ 2 ), 54ˆγ 2 (3 + cos 2θ ) sin 2θ 2 G θ2 = (08 + 2ˆγ 2 cos 2 θ sin 2 θ 2 + ˆγ 2 cos 2 θ 2 sin 2 θ + 3ˆγ 2 sin 2 θ 2 sin 2 θ ), and F = 3 (α2 + α2) α α 2 cos θ cos θ 2 + ( ) 6 (α2 sin 2 θ + α2 2 sin 2 θ 2 ) ψ ˆγ2 sin 2 θ sin 2 θ 2 08 ˆγ ( ) α2 cos θ sin 2 θ 2 α cos θ 2 sin 2 θ ψ. 9 5

7 From 3.7 the Virasoro constraints can be written as, E 2 = 6 ( θ 2 + θ 2 2 ) + G(ˆγ) 8 (α2 sin 2 θ + α2 2 sin 2 θ2) G(ˆγ) 9 α α 2 cos θ cos θ 2 ( J ˆγG(γ) + G(ˆγ) 9 (α2 + α 2 2) + ) 2 (α 54 2 cos θ sin 2 θ 2 α cos θ 2 sin 2 θ ) ( ). G(ˆγ) + ˆγ2 sin 2 θ sin 2 θ (3.3) The Hamiltonian is fixed to zero by Virasoro constraints. Since the equations of motion θ and θ 2 are complicated, it is very difficult to find out normal variational equation(nve) and study the integrability analytically. We will study the problem from a numerical analysis by showing the appearance of chaos in the next section. 4. Numerical analysis The non integrability nature of the string dynamics can be verified numerically by showing chaotic behavior of the string in its phase space. There are various techniques to show the chaotic behavior of the string dynamics in a particular background. Here we have used two methods. First we wish to study it from the point of view of Poincaré section and then calculating the Lyapunov Exponent. 4. Poincaré Section The string trajectories in phase space are distorted torus or the famous Kolmogorov- Arnold-Moser (KAM) torus [Fig.]. As time evolves, the trajectories wind over the torus shows the quasi-periodic nature of the trajectories. It will be convenient to take the projection of the trajectories over a surface for studying their dynamics. These projections over a surface is called Poincaré section or surface of section [25],[26]. 6

8 Figure In the present case, the system has four phase space coordinates (θ, θ 2, p θ, p θ2 ). The Virasoro constraint reduces it to a three dimensional subspace. Different initial conditions to the phase space coordinates give different tori in the phase space. To find different set of initial conditions we take p θ = 0, θ 2 = π, then keeping energy a constant in equation 3.3 we vary θ to get the corresponding values of p θ2. For an extended string we take the winding numbers of both θ and θ 2 coordinates to. The intersection of the tori with the surface sin θ 2 = 0 gives distorted circles. When energy is small these tori in the phase space are distinct [Fig.2(a)]. Each colour correspond to different set of initial conditions. As the energy of the system increased gradually some of the tori get deformed and destroyed by making a collection of scattered points in the phase space [fig.2(b)-2(d)]. These distorted tori are called cantori. At some higher value of energy all the tori get distorted and phase space become chaotic[fig.2(e)]. 7

10 In Fig.3 it is observed that chaotic nature of phase space not only depends on energy but also the deformation parameter (ˆγ) of AdS 5 T, background. Keeping energy constant E = 0.5 when ˆγ is changed, the tori get distorted as earlier case and becomes chaotic for a higher value of ˆγ. (a) (b) (c) Figure 3 Point like string Let us look at the fate of the point like string in the deformed background. If we make the winding numbers tends to zero then the string is no longer extended and it becomes point like. We observe the phase space of a point like string is ordered and non-chaotic [fig.4]. This ordered behaviour of phase space remains unchanged even with the varying energy or the deformation parameter ˆγ. 9

11 Figure Lyapunov Exponent Chaotic nature of the trajectories can be studied more quantitatively by the so called Lyapunov exponent. Lyapunov exponent describes sensitivity of the phase space trajectories to the initial conditions. It measures the growth rate between two initially nearby trajectories. Figure 5 Let us consider two initially nearby orbits, one passes through the point X 0 and other X 0 + X 0. These orbits can be thought of as parametric functions of time. If 0

It will be useful to take the largest Lyapunov exponent which can be measured when the interval is very large. Λ = lim τ > τ ln X(X 0, τ) X 0 = lim λi τ i (4.2) τ > τ The largest Lyapunov exponent generally converges to a positive value for a physical system which exhibits chaotic behaviour. If Λ is zero then it indicates the system is conservative. For a non conservative system or dissipative system the Λ converges to a negative value [27],[28]. For extended string the largest Lyapunav exponent Fig 6(a) converges to a positive value close to 3.55 which verifies extended string motion in γ deformed AdS 5 T, is chaotic in nature. But for point like string Fig 6(b) its value converges to zero which indicates non-chaotic nature of the system. We arrived at this conclusion by studying the problem mostly numerically.

13 5. Conclusion In this paper we have explicitly showed through the appearance of chaos that the string motion in the ˆγ deformed AdS 5 T, geometry is not integrable. We arrived at this conclusion by studying the problem mostly numerically. We study numerically the motion of the system and found it to be chaotic. Non-integrability does not, necessarily, imply the chaotic motion. However, the appearance of chaos is evidence of the breakdown of integrability. In our study the chaotic motion of the strings is first seen in the Poincaré sections and also in the phase space trajectories. We have taken the example of a particular type of circular string and showed that numerically that the motion is chaotic. We have shown further that as soon as the strings are replaced with point particles the integrability restores back. Hence one can conclude that while the point like solutions are integrable, the extended string equations of motion are not. We have further support of this result by looking at the Lyapunov exponent and proved that the string equations of motion are non integrable while the point like equations are integrable. There are various things that one could look at. First whether there is any link between the marginal deformations and the chaos. Whether all marginal deformations lead to chaotic behaviour? Further one may ask what happens to these classical chaos at the quantum level. Of course the string trajectories will lead to excitations of heavy string states. Hence in the field theory side they would correspond to operators withe very large quantum numbers. Finally, the method of nonintegrability and chaos in classical string trajectories might help us better in understanding the gauge/gravity duality better in terms of looking at how the nonintegrability really affects the field theory operators.
