Description

We present a systematic analytic treatment of semiclassical fluctuations  around non-trivial solutions for the Green Schwarz string action in AdS5xS5 space. The 1-loop partition function for the cases of the minimal surface corresponding to a Wilson loop with parallel lines and for the folded string are considered, leading in the first case to a prediction  for the subleading correction to the quark-antiquark potential in AdS, in the second to a detailed information on the strong coupling behavior of the dual gauge twist operators.
