Abstract

We use the quantum spectral curve to compute the Hagedorn temperature for ABJM theory in terms of the interpolating function h(λ)h(\lambda). At weak coupling we compute this temperature up to eight-loop order, showing that it matches the known tree-level and two-loop results. At strong coupling we compute the dependence numerically, showing that it is consistent with expectations from supergravity and the plane-wave limit for the four leading terms in the strong coupling expansion, up to an overall shift of the zero-point energy for type IIA string theory on AdS4×CP3_4\times \mathbb{C}\textrm{P}^3. We conjecture an analytic form for this shift to leading order that is consistent with our numerical results.
