On the boundary gauge dual of closed tensionless free strings in AdS

Abstract

We consider closed free tensionless strings in $Ad{S}_d$, calculate exactly the boundary/boundary string evolution kernel and find the string dynamics to be completely frozen. We interpret therefore the boundary configurations as Wilson loop operators in a confining phase. This is taken as an argument in favor to the dual weakly coupled abelian gauge theory being that of $(d-4)$-forms in the $(d-1)$ dimensional boundary Minkowski space.
