Comparing strings in AdS 5 × S 5 to planar diagrams : an example

چکیده
A correlator of a Wilson loop with a local operator in N = 4 SYM theory can be represented by a string amplitude in AdS 5 × S 5. This amplitude describes an overlap of the boundary state, which is associated with the loop, with the string mode, which is dual to the local operator. For chiral primary operators with a large R charge, the amplitude can be calculated by semiclassical techniques. We compare the semiclassical string amplitude to the SYM perturbation theory and find an exact agrement to the first two non-vanishing orders.

A New Double - Scaling Limit of N = 4 Super Yang - Mills Theory and PP - Wave Strings
The metric of a spacetime with a parallel plane (pp)-wave can be obtained in a certain limit of the space AdS 5 ×S 5. According to the AdS/CFT correspondence, the holographic dual of superstring theory on that background should be the analogous limit of N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. In this paper we shall show that, contrary to widespread expectation, non-planar diagrams survive this ...
متن کاملThe Dilatation Operator of N=4 Super Yang-Mills Theory and Integrability
The dilatation generator measures the scaling dimensions of local operators in a conformal field theory. In this thesis we consider the example of maximally supersymmetric gauge theory in four dimensions and develop and extend techniques to derive, investigate and apply the dilatation operator. These tools are perfectly suited for precision tests of the dynamical AdS/CFT conjecture. In particul...
متن کاملN ov 2 00 4 Pulsating strings in warped AdS 6 × S 4 geometry
In this paper we consider pulsating strings in warped AdS 6 × S 4 background, which is a vacuum solution of massive type IIA super-string. The case of rotating strings in this background was considered in hep-th/0402202 and it was found that the results significantly differs from those considered in AdS 5 ×S 5. Motivated by this results we study pulsating strings in the warped spherical part of...
متن کاملFluctuations and Energy Shifts in the Bethe Ansatz
We study fluctuations and finite size corrections for the ferromagnetic thermodynamic limit in the Bethe ansatz for the Heisenberg XXX1/2 spin chain, which is the AdS/CFT dual of semiclassical spinning strings. For this system we derive the standard quantum mechanical formula which expresses the energy shift as a sum over fluctuation energies. As an example we apply our results to the simplest,...
متن کاملOn the Scattering Phase for AdS 5 × S 5 Strings
We propose an exact phase factor of the worldsheet S-matrix for strings on AdS5 × S. It agrees with results of perturbative string theory and apparently solves Janik’s crossing relation.
