Abstract: (arXiv)
We study at strong coupling the scaling function describing the large spin anomalous dimension of twist two operators in super Yang-Mills theory. In the spirit of AdS/CFT duality, it is possible to extract it from the string Bethe Ansatz equations in the sector of the \ads superstring. To this aim, we present a detailed analysis of the Bethe equations by numerical and analytical methods. We recover several short string semiclassical results as a check. In the more difficult case of the long string limit providing the scaling function, we analyze the strong coupling version of the Eden-Staudacher equation, including the Arutyunov-Frolov-Staudacher phase. We prove that it admits a unique solution, at least in perturbation theory, leading to the correct prediction consistent with semiclassical string calculations.- integrable quantum field theory
