Description
Recently there has been substantial progress in the study of world-sheet S-matrices describing the scattering of massive modes in various (BMN light-cone gauge-fixed and decompactified) AdS_3 x S3 x M4 string theories via both perturbation theory and integrability. In this talk I will outline these developments, present some preliminary results for AdS_2 x S2 x T6, and attempt to put them into context through comparisons with the well-known case of AdS_5 x S5.
