5. Magnon in the gauge theory (spin chain model) Consider a gauge invariant (heavy) scalar operator which can be interpreted as a magnon in the spin chain model. The anomalous dimension of magnon In the large ‘t Hooft coupling limit, Magnon [Minahan and Zarembo ’02] 5

6. In the string theory the magnon operator corresponds to a solitonic string rotating on, which is called the giant magnon. In the string world sheet In the target space Consider the action for string moving in 6

7. The dispersion relation where & = infinite and =finite Conserved charges (in the infinite size limit ) Giant Magnon [Hofman & Maldacena ’06] and The typical structure of the magnon’s dispersion relation in the infinite size limit is described by This dispersion relation is exactly the same as one in the spin chain model in the large ‘t Hooft coupling limit 7

8. 2) spike ( another solution in the different parameter regime ) Conserved charges The dispersion relation where & = infinite =finite Spike in the target space 8

9. Notice The conformal field theory (CFT) is usually characterized by the conformal dimension of all primary operators and the structure constant included in the three- point correlation functions, because higher point functions may be determined by using the operator product expansion (OPE). - After finding an integrable structure in N=4 SYM theory, there were great progresses in calculating the spectra (the anomalous dimensions) of various operators. - On the contrary, although the structure constant describing the interaction can be evaluated in the weak coupling limit by computing the Feynman diagrams, at the strong coupling there still remain many things to be done. From now on, we will investigate the three-point correlation function of two heavy operators (magnon or spike) and one light (marginal) operator. 2. Correlation functions of magnon 9

10. Solitonic string on the Poincare AdS The Euclidean AdS metric in the Poincare patch The string action on is given by 1) AdS part 10

11. we can find : modular parameter of the cylinder Notice that we do not use the Virasoro constraints. In AdS space, the string propagates as a point particle. 11

12. The equations of motion are reduced to 1) part where and are two integration constants. Notice that there are two additional integration constants, which determine the position of magnon. Because the dispersion relation is described by the conserved quantities which contain one derivative, these two additional integration constants are irrelevant in determining the dispersion relation. 12

13. Boundary conditions for fixing two integration constants 1) which plays an important role to determine the size of magnon and spike. In the infinite size limit ( ) 2) which guarantees that even the angle difference is finite while the energy and the angular momentum are infinite. After imposing these boundary conditions, we finally obtain 13

14. The JSW proposed that ( ) -> the two point correlation function of heavy operator in gauge theory is proportional to the string partition function at the saddle point. I. Two-point function of Magnon ( which is nothing but the Virasoro constraints ) Following the JSW procedure, after convolving the semiclassical propagator with the wave function of the state that we are interested in, we obtain JSW : Janik, Surowka and Wereszczynski, arXiv:1002.4613 14

15. Two-point function Using the definitions of the conserved charges, we can reproduce the dispersion relation of the magnon in the large ‘t Hooft coupling regime Energy of the giant magnon the conformal dim. of magnon 15

16. Now, calculate the three-point correlation function between two heavy operators and one marginal scalar operator 2. Three-point function of Magnon Following the AdS/CFT correspondence, the SUGRA field dual to the marginal scalar operator is the dilaton (massless scalar).

18. Finally, we obtain The CFT result is - the powers in the denominator are fixed by the global conformal transformation - the structure constant is not determined by conformal symmetry By comparing above two results, we can determine the structure constant 18

19. * The structure constant in the gauge theory [Costa, Monteiro, Santos, Zoakos, arXiv:1008.1070] From the RG analysis, it was shown that the structure constant of the marginally deformed theory can be determined by : coupling between two op. and one marginal op. : the anomalous dimension of two op. For two heavy op. (magnon) and one marginal op., from the dispersion relation of magnon we can find in the large coupling limit 19

21. 2. Single spike which is described by the solitonic string rotating on in the different parameter range Two-point correlation function Three-point correlation function with in the RG analysis 21

22. 4. Finite size effect on the 3-pt correlation function the finite size effect of the giant magnon ~ the wrapping effects in the spin chain model Consider the case of The conserved charges for the giant magnon 22

23. Two-point correlation function Three-point correlation function for, This result coincides with the RG calculation with 23

24. 4. Conclusion and discussion - Using the [JSW] & (CMSZ) prescription, we calculated the two- and three-point correlation functions of various solitonic string solutions - Checked that these prescriptions are working well. - Showed that the correlation functions in the string and gauge theory are perfectly matched, which is another evidence of the AdS/CFT correspondence. - Calculated the finite size effect on the three-point function of the giant magnon JSW : Janik, Surowka, Wereszczynski CMSZ : Costa, Monteiro, Santos, Zoakos 24
