Gauge Theory Correlators from Non-Critical String Theory

A.M. Polyakov, I.R. Klebanov, S.S. Gubser

Gauge theory correlators are extracted from how the supergravity action in anti-de Sitter space depends on boundary conditions.

Claims

C1strongest claim

The operators that couple to massive string states at level n acquire anomalous dimensions that grow as 2 (n g_YM sqrt(2 N))^{1/2} for large 't Hooft coupling. This is a new prediction about the strong coupling behavior of large N SYM theory.

C2weakest assumption

The non-critical string theory is related to critical string theory in anti-de Sitter background, with a boundary analogous to a Liouville cut-off, and gauge theory correlation functions are given by the dependence of the supergravity action on boundary conditions.

C3one line summary

Gauge theory correlators in 3+1D N=4 SYM with large N are obtained from the supergravity action on the AdS boundary, with anomalous dimensions for massive string modes growing as 2(n g_YM sqrt(2N))^{1/2} at strong 't Hooft coupling.
