The virtual scaling function of twist operators in the N = 6 Chern-simons theory

Abstract

We consider twist-L operators in the planar N = 6 superconformal Chern-Simons ABJM theory. Their anomalous dimension γ LCS(N) is a function of the twist L, the spin N, and the dressed coupling of ABJM. We show that at next-to-leading order in the large spin expansion, this anomalous dimension is related to that of N = 4 SYM twist operators by a simple scaling law. © 2009 SISSA.
