Algebraic Curves for Long Folded and Circular Winding Strings in AdS5xS5

arXiv:1212.6109 · doi:10.1007/JHEP02(2013)107

Abstract

For the homogeneous configuration given by the long string limit of the folded string with a spin in AdS3 and a spin and a winding number in S1, we solve the auxiliary linear problem in the finite-gap method and construct the Lax operator to obtain an algebraic curve. We show that the long spiky string in AdS_3 has the same algebraic curve as the null cusp Wilson loop. The algebraic curve for the circular winding string in AdS3xS1 is evaluated. The Virasoro constraint is discussed to characterize the branch points of each curve.
