AdS-CFT beyond supersymmetry via rotating strings

abstract:

In the last year and a half, many new tests of the AdS/CFT correspondence have been achieved by studying a certain class of non-topological solitons corresponding to rotating strings which carry (at least) two large angular momenta. They are dual to CFT operators which are far away from the 1/2 BPS operators of Berenstein, Maldacena and Nastase. We will discuss to which point can these results test the AdS/CFT away from supersymmetry.
