Membrany corrections to the string anti-string potential in M5-brane theory

TL;DR

This paper investigates the string-anti-string potential in M5-brane theory using AdS/CFT duality, showing that quantum corrections modify the classical potential at next-to-leading order.

Contribution

It provides the first analysis of quantum corrections to the string-anti-string potential in M5-brane theory via holographic duality.

Findings

Quantum corrections renormalize the classical potential.

Next-to-leading order effects are significant.

Results enhance understanding of M5-brane interactions.

Abstract

We study the potential between a string and an anti-string source in M5-theory by using the adS/CFT duality conjecture. We find that the next to leading order corrections in a saddle point approximation renormalize the classical result.
