Abstract

We consider a generalization of the leading-order matching of coherent state actions for semiclassical states on the super Yang-Mills and the superstring sides of the AdS/CFT duality to sectors with fermions. In particular, we discuss the SU(11)SU(1|1) and SU(23)SU(2|3) sectors containing states with angular momentum JJ in S5S^5 and spin in AdS5AdS_5. On the SYM side, we start with the dilatation operator in the SU(23)SU(2|3) sector having super spin chain Hamiltonian interpretation and derive the corresponding coherent state action which is quartic in fermions. This action has essentially the same ``Landau-Lifshitz'' form as the action in the bosonic SU(3) sector with the target space CP2CP^2 replaced by the projective superspace CP22CP^{2|2}. We then attempt to relate it to the corresponding truncation of the full AdS5×S5AdS_5 \times S^5 superstring action written in a light-cone gauge where it has simple quartic fermionic structure. In particular, we find that part of the superstring action describing SU(11)SU(1|1) sector reduces to an action of a massive two-dimensional relativistic fermion, with the expansion in the effective coupling λ/J2\lambda/J^2 being equivalent to a non-relativistic expansion.
