AdS/CFT correspondence (Closed/Open string dulaty) - The gravity theory on - Symmetry SO(2,4) * SO(6) Isometry group -N=4 SYM on the boundary 4d space -Symmetry (same) SO(2,4) * SO(6) conf. * R-sym full string theory closed string theory sugra approx. perturbative Yang-Mills theory nonperturbative

AdS/CFT Dictionary 4D CFT (QCD)  5D AdS Spectrum : - 4D Operator  5D string states - Dim. of [Operator]  5D mass Current conservation  5D gauge symmetry Large Q  small z Confinement  (IR) cutoff z m Resonances  Kaluza-Klein states

According to the AdS/CFT correspondence, isometry of R-symmetry group of N=4 SYM Z, W, X : three complex scalar fields of SYM describing coordinates of the internal space with |Z| + |W| + |X| =1. (Z and Z: the plane on which the equator of lies) J in SYM : # of Z fields J : the angular momentum describing the rotation on the equator of in the string theory side. Consider the limit 222

As an example, consider the SU(2) part only (with Z and W ) -energy and R-charge E=1 and J=1 for Z and E=1 and J=O for W for case ii) E - J = 1 + correction anomalous dim. the spectrum of string states string with infinite E and J 1) state (E-J=0) 2) the giant magnon (E-J=0) the spectrum of operators in SYM long chain operator 1) 2) Impurity or magnon

On the gauge theory side (related to spin chain model) By Minahan and Zarembo the one-loop anomalous dimension of operators ( : # of Z and W) composed of scalars in N=4 SYM theory follows from solving the spin chain model The one loop anomalous dim. eigenvalue of the 1-loop dilatation operator acting on these op.

To apply one should consider as a spin ½ chain identifying Z with a spin down and W with a spin up the dispersion relation for the magnon in the large ‘t Hooft coupling limit, Now, we study which spectrum of the string side corresponds to this magnon solution in SYM.

There exist many other types of operators Ex) (Single Trace operators, with higher twists) : The anomalous dimension is dominated by the contribution of the derivatives  Dual description in terms of rotating strings with n cusps (Conjecture)

4. Summary and discussion - It was shown that the magnon in the spin chain can be described by the giant magnon solution in string theory. - Furthermore, the magnon bound state is also described by a giant magnon with two angular momentum - Investigate the solutions of Spikes on R x S2 with B field Rotating String on Melvin deformed AdS3 x S3 Three spin spiky solutions on AdS3 x S3 -> circular/helical strings on AdS - Multi magnon and spike solutions

Summary - continued - Magnon like solutions for strings in I-brane background - Spiky Strings on AdS4 x CP3 - much of the AdS / CFT still need to be confirmed such as finding the dual integrable model corresponding to the spike solution.
