Quantum strings in AdS5 × S5: strong-coupling corrections to dimension of Konishi operator

We consider leading strong coupling corrections to the energy of the lightest massive string modes in \adss, which should be dual to members of the Konishi operator multiplet in Script N = 4 SYM theory. This determines the general structure of the strong-coupling expansion of the anomalous dimension of the Konishi operator. We use 1-loop results for several semiclassical string states to extract information about the leading coefficients in this expansion. Our prediction is Δ = 2λ1/4+b0+b1λ−1/4+b3λ−3/4+..., where b0 and b1 are rational while b3 is transcendental (containing ζ(3)). Explicitly, we argue that b0 = Δ0−4 (where Δ0 is the canonical dimension of the corresponding gauge-theory operator in the Konishi multiplet) and b1 = 1. Our conclusions are sensitive to few assumptions, implied by a correspondence with flat-space expressions, on how to translate semiclassical quantization results into predictions for the exact quantum string spectrum.
