Abstract

We consider the one-loop correction to the energy of the folded spinning string solution in the AdS3 part of AdS5 × S5. The classical string solution is expressed in terms of elliptic functions so an explicit computation of the corresponding fluctuation determinants for generic values of the spin appears to be a non-trivial problem. We show how it can be solved exactly by using the static-gauge expression for the string partition function (which we demonstrate to be equivalent to the conformal gauge one) and observing that all the corresponding second-order fluctuation operators can be put into the standard (single-gap) Lamé form. We systematically derive the small-spin and large-spin expansions of the resulting expression for the string energy and comment on some of their applications.
