Strings in the near plane wave background and AdS/CFT

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-07 v2

Abstract

We study the AdS/CFT correspondence for string states which flow into plane wave states in the Penrose limit. Leading finite radius corrections to the string spectrum are compared with scaling dimensions of finite R-charge BMN-like operators. We find agreement between string and gauge theory results.
