On the boundary gauge dual of closed tensionless free strings in AdS
Abstract
We consider closed free tensionless strings in AdSd, calculate exactly the boundary/boundary string evolution kernel and find the string dynamics to be completely frozen. We interpret therefore the boundary configurations as Wilson loop operators in a confining phase. This is taken as an argument in favor to the dual weakly coupled abelian gauge theory being that of (d-4)-forms in the (d-1) dimensional boundary Minkowski space.
