Strings in the near plane wave background and AdS/CFT

arXiv:hep-th/0208010 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/2002/10/066

Abstract

We study the AdS/CFT correspondence for string states which flow into plane wave states in the Penrose limit. Leading finite radius corrections to the string spectrum are compared with scaling dimensions of finite R-charge BMN-like operators. We find agreement between string and gauge theory results.
