Three-point correlation functions from semiclassical circular strings
The strong-coupling limit of three-point correlation functions of local
operators can be analyzed beyond the supergravity regime using vertex operators
representing spinning string states. When two of the vertex operators
correspond to heavy string states having large quantum numbers, while the third
operator corresponds to a light state with fixed charges, the correlator can be
computed in the large string tension limit by means of a semiclassical
approximation. We study the case when the heavy string states are circular
string solutions with one AdS_5 spin and three different angular momenta along
S^5, for several choices of the light string state.Comment: 13 pages. Latex. v2: Misprints corrected and references adde
