Finite size effect from classical strings in $AdS_3 \times S^3$ with NS-NS flux

Abstract

We study the finite size effect of rigidly rotating strings and closed folded strings in $AdS_3\times S^3$ geometry with NS-NS B-field. We calculate the classical exponential corrections to the dispersion relation of infinite size giant magnon and single spike in terms of Lambert $\mathbf{W}-$function. We also write the analytic expression for the dispersion relation of finite size Gubser-Klebanov-Polyakov (GKP) string in the form of Lambert $\mathbf{W}-$function.
