AB - The exact localization result for the expectation value of the 12 BPS circular Wilson loop in N=4 SYM theory is given in the planar limit by the famous Bessel function expression: W=2NλI<inf>1</inf>(λ). Expanded in large λ and expressed in terms of the AdS<inf>5</inf> × S <sup>5</sup> string tension T=λ2π this gives W=T2πg<inf>s</inf>e<sup>2πT</sup>(1−316πT<sup>−1</sup>+…).The exponential is matched by the value of the action of the string with the AdS<inf>2</inf> world volume while the prefactor comes from the 1-loop GS string correction. Here we address the question of how the subleading T<sup>−1</sup> term could be reproduced by the 2-loop correction in the corresponding partition function of the AdS<inf>5</inf> × S <sup>5</sup> GS string expanded near the AdS<inf>2</inf> minimal surface. We find that the string correction contains a non-zero UV logarithmic divergence implying that comparison with the SYM result requires a particular subtraction prescription. We discuss implications of this conclusion for checking the AdS/CFT duality at strong coupling.

Note to staff:  Adding new publications to a research group

  1. Log in to Symplectic.
  2. Click on Menu > Create Links
  3. Choose what you want to create links between – in this case ‘Publications’ and ‘Organisational structures’.
  4. Choose the organisational structure (research group) into which you want to link the publications and check the box next to it.
  5. Now check the box of any publication you want to add to that group. You can use the filters to find what you want and select multiple publications if necessary. 
  6. Scroll to the bottom and click the blue ‘Create new link’ button to link them.
  7. The publications will be added to the group, and will be displayed on the group publications feed within 24 hours (it is not immediate).

Any problems, talk to Tim Evans or the Faculty Web Team.
