Two-loop cusp anomaly in ABJM at strong coupling
Abstract
We compute the null cusp anomalous dimension of ABJM theory at strong coupling up to two-loop order. This is done by evaluating corrections to the corresponding superstring partition function, weighted by the action in AdS light-cone gauge. We compare our result, where we use an anomalous shift in the radius, with the cusp anomaly of SYM, and extract the two-loop contribution to the non-trivial integrable coupling of ABJM theory. It coincides with the strong coupling expansion of the exact expression for recently conjectured by Gromov and Sizov. Our work provides thus a non-trivial perturbative check for the latter, as well as evidence for two-loop UV-finiteness and quantum integrability of the Type IIA superstring in this gauge.
