Spiky strings and the AdS/CFT correspondence
Manuel Losi
We first focus on the finite-gap formalism for type IIB strings in AdS_3 x S^1, which allows to encode the semiclassical spectrum of a very large family of string solutions in a Ri…
Spiky Strings and Giant Holes
Nick Dorey, Manuel Losi
We analyse semiclassical strings in AdS in the limit of one large spin. In this limit, classical string dynamics is described by a finite number of collective coordinates correspon…
Giant Holes
Nick Dorey, Manuel Losi
We study the semiclassical spectrum of excitations around a long spinning string in AdS_3. In addition to the usual small fluctuations, we find the spectrum contains a branch of so…
Spiky Strings and Spin Chains
Nick Dorey, Manuel Losi
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…
