On non-planar ABJM anomalous dimensions from M2 branes in AdS$_{4}\times S^{7}/\mathbb{Z}_{k}$
Abstract
Planar parts of conformal dimensions of primary operators in ABJM theory are controlled by integrability. Strong coupling asymptotics of planar dimensions of operators with large spins can be found from the energy of semiclassical strings in AdSCP but computing non-planar corrections requires understanding higher genus string corrections. As was pointed out in arXiv:2408.10070, there is an alternative way to find the non-planar corrections by quantizing M2 branes in AdS which are wrapped around the 11d circle of radius and generalize spinning strings in AdSCP. Computing the 1-loop correction to the energy of M2 brane that corresponds to the long folded string with large spin in AdS allowed to obtain a prediction for the large limit of non-planar corrections to the cusp anomalous dimension. Similar predictions were found for non-planar dimensions of operators dual to M2 branes that generalize the ''short'' and ''long'' circular strings with two equal spins in CP. Here we consider two more non-trivial examples of 1-loop M2 brane computations that correspond to: (i) long folded string with large spin in AdS and orbital momentum in CP whose energy determines the generalized cusp anomalous dimension, and (ii) circular string with spin in AdS and spin in CP. We find the leading terms of the expansion of the corresponding 1-loop M2 brane energies in . We also discuss similar semiclassical 1-loop M2 brane computation in flat 11d background and comment on possible relation to higher genus corrections to energies in 10d string theory.
