Double-logs, Gribov-Lipatov reciprocity and wrapping

We study analytical properties of the five-loop anomalous dimension of twist-2 operators at negative even values of Lorentz spin. Following L. N. Lipatov and A. I. Onishchenko, we have found two possible generalizations of double-logarithmic equation, which allow to predict a lot of poles of anomalous dimension of twist-2 operators at all orders of perturbative theory from the known results. Second generalization is related with the reciprocity-respecting function, which is a single-logarithmic function in this case. We have found, that the knowledge of first orders of the reciprocity-respecting function gives all-loop predictions for the highest poles. Obtained predictions can be used for the reconstruction of a general form of the wrapping corrections for twist-2 operators.Comment: 17 pages, references adde

Six-Loop Anomalous Dimension of Twist-Three Operators in N=4 SYM

The result for the six-loop anomalous dimension of twist-three operators in the planar N=4 SYM theory is presented. The calculations were performed along the paper arXiv:0912.1624. This result provides a new data for testing the proposed spectral equations for planar AdS/CFT correspondence.Comment: 19 pages, typos corrected, details adde

Quantum folded string in S^5 and the Konishi multiplet at strong coupling

The Konishi superconformal multiplet is an important theoretical laboratory where one can test AdS/CFT methods to compute strong coupling corrections to the spectrum of superstrings in AdS_5 x S^5. In particular, one can exploit integrability for finite charge states/operators. The multiplet ground state is a singlet operator with two simple descendants in the rank-1 sectors sl(2) and su(2) of N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. Recently, the next-to-leading quantum correction to the sl(2) state has been computed. Here, we use the algebraic curve approach to determine the correction to the other state recovering universality of the correction inside the multiplet.Comment: 17 pages, 5 eps figure

Spatially-resolved rotational microrheology with an optically-trapped sphere

We have developed a microrheometer, based on optical tweezers, in which hydrodynamic coupling between the probe and fluid boundaries is dramatically reduced relative to existing microrheometers. Rotational Brownian motion of a birefringent microsphere within an angular optical trap is observed by measuring the polarisation shifts of transmitted light. Data gathered in this manner, in the strongly viscoelastic fluid Celluvisc, quantitatively agree with the results of conventional (bulk) rheometry. Our technique will significantly reduce the smallest sample volumes which may be reliably probed, further extending the study of rare, difficult to obtain or highly nonhomogeneous fluids
