Abstract:
In the short-string limit, we present results for the one-loop correction to the energy of string solutions in AdS$_5\times S^5$ that belong to a certain class. The computations are based on the observation that the fluctuation operators, just as for rigid spinning-string elliptic solutions, can be written in the single-gap Lamé form. Based on these computations, we reveal a remarkable universality of the expression for the energy of short semiclassical strings, which may help in better understanding the structure of the strong-coupling expansion of the anomalous dimensions of dual gauge theory operators.
