Open Strings from Script N = 4 Super Yang-Mills

Exploiting insights on strings moving in pp-wave backgrounds, we show how open strings emerge from Script N = 4 SU(N) Yang-Mills theory as fluctuations around certain states carrying R-charge of order N. These states are dual to spherical D3-branes of AdS5 × S5 and we reproduce the spectrum of small fluctuations of these states from Yang-Mills theory. We discuss the emergence of the G2 light degrees of freedom expected when G such D3-branes nearly coincide. The open strings running between the branes can be quantized easily in a Penrose limit of the spacetime. Taking the corresponding large charge limit of the Yang-Mills theory, we reproduce the open string worldsheets and their spectra from field theory degrees of freedom.
