Spiky Strings and Spin Chains

چکیده
We determine spectral curves for the known spiky string solutions in AdS space in the limit of large angular momentum. We also construct generic multi-spike solutions in this limit and compute the corresponding spectral data. The resulting spectral curves precisely match those of the classical spin chain describing the dual operators in one-loop gauge theory. Our results confirm the map between string theory and gauge theory degrees of freedom proposed in arXiv:0805.4387 [hep-th].

Spiky Strings in AdS4× CP with Neveu-Schwarz Flux
We study general rotating string solution in the AdS4×CP background with a BNS holonomy turned on over CP 1 ⊂ CP. We find the giant magnon and single spike solutions for the string moving in this background corresponding to open spin chain. We calculate the corresponding dispersion relation among various conserved charges for both the cases. We further study the finite size effect on both the g...
متن کاملGiant magnons and spiky strings on the conifold
We find explicit solutions for giant magnons and spiky strings on the squashed three dimensional sphere. For a special value of the squashing parameter the solutions describe strings moving in a sector of the conifold, while for another value of the squashing parameter we recover the known results on the round three dimensional sphere. A new feature is that the energy and the momenta enter in t...
متن کاملSpiky phases of smooth membranes. Implications for smooth strings
We point out a possible mechanism by which smooth surfaces can become spiky as the constant of curvature stiffness κ falls below a certain critical value. This happens either in a single first-order transition, or in a sequence of two Kosterlitz-Thouless-like transitions. There may also be additional phases in which the spikes form a hexagonal solid-like array or a disordered liquid-like struct...
متن کاملHeavy hadron spectra from spin chains and strings
We study the spectrum of hadronic states made up of very massive complex scalar fields in a confining gauge theory admitting a supergravity dual background. We show that for a sub-sector of operators dual to certain spinning strings, the mass spectrum exhibits an integrable structure equal to the Heisenberg spin chain, up to an overall factor. This result is compared with the corresponding stri...
متن کاملGiant Magnons under NS-NS and Melvin Fields
We analyze the energy and angular momenta of the two-spin spiky string moving on the AdS3×S with NS-NS field. Due to the infinite boundary of the AdS spacetime the solution will extend to infinity and it appears the divergences. After adding the counter terms we then obtain the dispersion relation of the corresponding giant magnon and see how the background field produces the correction terms. ...
