Orbifolded Konishi from the Mirror TBA

TL;DR

This paper applies simplified mirror TBA equations and Lüscher's approach to compute NLO wrapping corrections for an orbifolded Konishi state in AdS/CFT, confirming their consistency and exploring ground state energies.

Contribution

It demonstrates the applicability of simplified mirror TBA equations to orbifolded models and compares results with Lüscher's approach for the first time in this context.

Findings

NLO wrapping correction matches between TBA and Lüscher methods

Simplified TBA equations are valid for the orbifolded model

Discussion of wrapping corrections to ground state energy

Abstract

Starting with a discussion of the general applicability of the simplified mirror TBA equations to simple deformations of the AdS_5 x S^5 superstring, we proceed to study a specific type of orbifold to which the undeformed simplified TBA equations directly apply. We then use this set of equations, as well as Luscher's approach, to determine the NLO wrapping correction to the energy of what we call the orbifolded Konishi state, and show that they perfectly agree. In addition we discuss wrapping corrections to the ground state energy of the orbifolded model under consideration.
