In perturbation theory, the anomalous dimensions of twist-two operators have poles at negative or small positive integer values of spin and therefore must be resummed at these points. It was observed earlier that a certain quadratic…

We consider the world surface in AdS_5 that ends on two intersecting null lines at the boundary. The corresponding string partition function describes the expectation value of the Wilson line with a null cusp in dual large N maximally…

Using the quantum string Bethe ansatz we derive the one-loop energy of a folded string rotating with angular momenta (S,J) in AdS_3 x S^1 inside AdS_5 x S^5 in the limit 1 << J << S, z=\lambda^(1/2) log(S/J) /(\pi J) fixed. The one-loop…

We study scalar excitations of high spin operators in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory, which are dual to solitons propagating on a long folded string in AdS_3 x S^1. In the spin chain description of the gauge theory, these are associated to…

We compute 1-loop correction E_1 to the energy of folded string in AdS_5 x S^5 (carrying spin S in AdS_5 and momentum J in S^5) using ``long string'' approximation in which S >> J >> 1. According to AdS/CFT E_1 should represent the first…
