We review a study of the semiclassical decay of macroscopic spinning strings in AdS 5 × S 5 as well as its dual gauge theory description. The conservation of the infinite tower of commuting charges in the semiclassical string σ‐model description of the process suggests that the decay channel of maximal probability should preserve integrability in the gauge theory.
