More on the tensionless limit of pure-Ramond-Ramond AdS3/CFT2

Abstract

Abstract In a recent letter we presented the equations which describe tensionless limit of the excited-state spectrum for strings on AdS 3 × S 3 × T 4 supported by Ramond-Ramond flux, and their numerical solution. In this paper, we give a detailed account of the derivation of these equations from the mirror TBA equations proposed by Frolov and Sfondrini, discussing the contour-deformation trick which we used to obtain excited-state equations and the tensionless limit. We also comment at length on the algorithm for the numerical solution of the equations in the tensionless limit, and present a number of explicit numerical results, as well as comment on their interpretation.
