Abstract

The Alday–Maldacena solution, relevant to the n = 4 gluon amplitude in N = 4 SYM at strong coupling, was recently identified as a minimum of the regularized action in the moduli space of solutions of the AdS 5 σ -model equations of motion. Analogous solutions of the Nambu–Goto equations for the n = 4 case are presented and shown to form (modulo the reparametrization group) an equally large but different moduli space, with the Alday–Maldacena solution at the intersection of the σ -model and Nambu–Goto moduli spaces. We comment upon the possible form of the regularized action for n = 5 . A function of moduli parameters z a is written, whose minimum reproduces the BDDK one-loop five-gluon amplitude. This function may thus be considered as some kind of Legendre transform of the BDDK formula and has its own value independently of the Alday–Maldacena approach.
