A bstractWe compute leading order quantum corrections to the Regge trajectory of a rotating string with massive endpoints using semiclassical methods. We expand the bosonic string action around a classical rotating solution to quadratic order in the fluctuations and perform the canonical quantization of the resulting theory. For a rotating string in D dimensions the intercept receives contributions from D − 3 transverse modes and one mode in the plane of rotation, in addition to a contribution…

On the quantization of folded strings in non-critical dimensions
Classical rotating closed string are folded strings. At the folding points the scalar curvature associated with the induced metric diverges. As a consequence one cannot properly quantize the…
The scattering amplitude of stringy hadrons: strings with opposite charges on their endpoints
In this note we describe hadrons: mesons and baryons as strings with electric charges on their endpoints. We consider here only the neutral system with opposite charges coupled to an external…
3D Yang-Mills glueballs vs closed effective strings
Abstract Recent lattice results strongly support the Axionic String Ansatz (ASA) for quantum numbers of glueballs in 3D Yang-Mills theory. The ASA treats glueballs as closed bosonic strings. The…

On the exponentially small corrections to ${\cal N} = 2$ superconformal correlators at large R-charge
In this note we consider Coulomb-branch chiral primary correlation functions in N = 2 superconformal QCD with gauge group SU(2), in the limit of large R-charge J = 2n for the chiral primary operators…

As a sequel to previous work, we extend the study of the ground state configuration of the D = 3, Wilson-Fisher conformal O(4) model. In this work, we prove that for generic ratios of two charge…
A note on inhomogeneous ground states at large global charge
Abstract In this note we search for the ground state of the D = 3 Wilson-Fisher conformal O(4) model, at nonzero values of the two independent charge densities ρ 1,2, on the torus spatial slice.…
Excited mesons, baryons, glueballs and tetraquarks: predictions of the Holography Inspired Stringy Hadron model
In this note we collect and summarize the predictions of the Holography Inspired Stringy Hadron (HISH) model. Following a brief review of the model, we list the masses and widths of predicted excited…
