Abstract: (arXiv)
We consider a possible discretization for the gauge-fixed Green-Schwarz (two-dimensional) sigma-model action for the Type IIB superstring and use it for measuring the cusp anomalous dimension of planar SYM as derived from string theory. We perform lattice simulations employing a Rational Hybrid Monte Carlo (RHMC) algorithm and a Wilson-like fermion discretization. In this preliminary study, we compare our results with the expected behavior for very large values of , which is the perturbative regime of the sigma-model, and find a qualitative agreement at finite lattice spacing. For smaller the continuum limit is obstructed by a divergence. We also detect a phase in the fermion determinant, whose origin we explain, which for small leads to a sign problem not treatable via standard reweigthing. Results presented here are discussed thoroughly in~\cite{toappear}.Note:
