Abstract

We make contact between the infinite-dimensional non-local symmetry of the type-IIB superstring on AdS5 × S5 and a non-abelian infinite-dimensional symmetry algebra for the weakly coupled superconformal gauge theory. We explain why the planar limit of the one-loop dilatation operator is the hamiltonian of a spin chain, and show that it commutes with the g2N = 0 limit of the non-abelian charges.
