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…
