AdS4/CFT3 at One Loop

Abstract

I consider semi-classical type IIA strings rotating in the AdS4 part of AdS4 X CP3. The one loop sigma model corrections to this classical solution are used to compute the energy shift, and the result is found to be E-S=f(lambda) ln S with f(lambda)= sqrt{2 lambda} - 5 ln 2 /2 pi + O (1/sqrt{lambda}). Even though the functional forms match, the actual numerical value of this one loop string result differs from the result obtained on the integrable N=6 Chern-Simons (ABJM) theory side.
