Description
I talk about finite corrections to the large spin asymptotics of N=4 SYM twist operators. These corrections are an all-loop result, not affected by wrapping effects, and agree, after determining the strong coupling expansion, with string theory predictions. The finite order corrections enter the sub-leading poles of the logarithm of multi loop gluon scattering amplitudes and describes the difference between the former and the expectation value of certain Wilson lines. Furthermore, the very same leading and subleading corrections also appear for a more general class of operators, which correspond to spinning strings with two spins in AdS_5.
