### Report on the Work of Edoardo VescoviEdoardo Vescovi is a theoretical physicist whose research primarily focuses on the intersection of string theory, gauge theory, and integrability, with a particular emphasis on the AdS/CFT correspondence. His work spans a variety of topics, including Wilson loops, quantum string corrections, lattice simulations of string sigma models, and determinant operators in supersymmetric gauge theories. Below is a summary of his key contributions based on the articles listed.---### 1. **Two-loop Cusp Anomaly in ABJM Theory at Strong Coupling** - **Article**: [1407.4788] - **Summary**: Vescovi contributed to the computation of the null cusp anomalous dimension in ABJM theory at strong coupling up to two-loop order. This work involved evaluating quantum string corrections in the AdS$_4 \times \mathbb{CP}^3$ background and comparing the results with $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM theory. The study provided evidence for the quantum integrability of the Type IIA superstring in this background and confirmed the two-loop contribution to the interpolating function \(h(\lambda)\), supporting a conjecture by Gromov and Sizov.---### 2. **Lattice Simulations of String Sigma Models** - **Articles**: [1601.04670], [1605.01726], [1702.02005], [1910.06912] - **Summary**: Vescovi has been involved in pioneering efforts to apply lattice field theory techniques to study string sigma models in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence. His work includes discretizing the Green-Schwarz superstring action and performing lattice simulations to compute observables such as the cusp anomalous dimension and the mass of AdS excitations. These studies revealed challenges such as sign problems in the fermionic determinant and divergences at smaller couplings, which Vescovi addressed through novel linearization and reweighting techniques. His work in this area has opened new avenues for non-perturbative studies of string theory using lattice methods.---### 3. **Wilson Loops and Bremsstrahlung Functions in ABJM Theory** - **Articles**: [1802.07726], [1910.00588] - **Summary**: Vescovi has made significant contributions to the study of Wilson loops in ABJM theory, particularly in the context of Bremsstrahlung functions. His work demonstrated exact relations between different Bremsstrahlung functions associated with geometric and R-symmetry deformations of Wilson loops. These results were derived using a superconformal defect approach and provided exact expressions for the Bremsstrahlung functions, which are important for understanding the integrability of ABJM theory. His work also explored the spectral independence of deformed Wilson loops in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM theory, revealing approximate symmetries at weak coupling.---### 4. **Determinant Operators and Structure Constants in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM** - **Articles**: [1906.07733], [1907.11242], [2101.05117] - **Summary**: Vescovi has extensively studied determinant operators in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM, which are dual to maximal giant gravitons in the AdS/CFT correspondence. His work developed non-perturbative methods, such as the Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz (TBA), to compute three-point and four-point functions involving determinant operators. These studies revealed a simpler integrability structure for determinant operators compared to single-trace operators and provided new insights into the non-perturbative dynamics of gauge theories. Vescovi's work also explored phase transitions in the four-point function of determinant operators, drawing analogies to the Hagedorn transition in string theory.---### 5. **Quantum String Corrections and Minimal Surfaces in AdS/CFT** - **Articles**: [1702.02164], [1409.8674] - **Summary**: Vescovi has contributed to the computation of quantum corrections to string solutions in the AdS/CFT correspondence. His work on the one-loop string correction to the "latitude" minimal surface in $AdS_5 \times S^5$ resolved discrepancies between string theory predictions and exact gauge theory results obtained via localization. He also studied the fluctuation spectrum of spinning strings in $S^5$, providing analytic solutions to the mixed-mode bosonic fluctuation problem. These contributions are important for refining semiclassical string quantization methods and understanding the quantum spectrum of spinning string configurations.---### 6. **Fishnet Theories and Correlation Functions** - **Article**: [2110.09458] - **Summary**: Vescovi has explored determinant operators in the fishnet limit of $\gamma$-deformed $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM theory. His work applied integrability techniques to compute correlation functions of determinant operators in this simplified model, which is characterized by a reduced interaction structure. The study extended the definition of determinant operators to the fishnet model and employed a semi-classical approach to simplify complex Feynman diagrams. This work contributes to the broader understanding of integrability in conformal field theories and their holographic duals.---### 7. **Loop Equations and Matrix Models** - **Article**: [2402.13835] - **Summary**: Vescovi has also worked on loop equations for random eigenvalue ensembles, particularly in the context of matrix models relevant to supersymmetric gauge theories. His work developed a recursive algebraic framework for solving loop equations in the planar limit and beyond, with applications to Wilson loops in $\mathcal{N}=2^*$ SYM theory. This research provides a non-perturbative framework for studying matrix models and their connections to gauge theory observables.---### ConclusionEdoardo Vescovi's work spans a wide range of topics in theoretical physics, with a strong focus on the AdS/CFT correspondence, integrability, and non-perturbative methods. His contributions to the study of Wilson loops, determinant operators, and lattice simulations of string sigma models have advanced our understanding of quantum field theory and string theory. Vescovi's research continues to explore the deep connections between gauge theory, string theory, and integrability, providing valuable insights into the non-perturbative structure of these theories.
