How Accurate is the Quantum String Bethe Ansatz?

High Energy Physics - Theory 2014-11-18 v4

Abstract

We compare solutions of the quantum string Bethe equations with explicit one-loop calculations in the sigma-model on AdS(5)xS(5). The Bethe ansatz exactly reproduces the spectrum of infinitely long strings. When the length is finite, we find that deviations from the exact answer arise which are exponentially small in the string length.
