Multi-spike strings in $AdS_3$ with mixed three-form fluxes

High Energy Physics - Theory 2016-05-12 v3

Abstract

The string sigma model in AdS3×S3AdS_3\times S^3 supported by mixed three-form fluxes has recently been proved to be integrable which led to a plethora of work in this background including proposals for S matrix and study of semiclassical string profiles. Motivated by this, in this paper, we present a study of `spiky' strings in this background. We analyze the string profiles in detail and also find the dispersion relation between the charges in the `long' string limit after solving the equations of motion perturbatively upto the leading order in the Neveu-Schwarz flux bb. We find that the dispersion for 2 spikes gets corrected by the term b22logS-\frac{b^2}{2}\log S. We also discuss the fate of the solution in the limit of pure NS-NS flux.
