The one-loop energy is a sum of two contributions, one originating from the Hernandez-Lopez phase and another one being due to spin chain finite size effects. We find a result which at the functional level exactly matches the result of a string theory computation. Expanding the result for large z we obtain the strong coupling limit of the scaling function for low twist, high spin operators of the SL(2) sector of N=4 SYM. In particular we recover the famous -3 log(2)/π. Its appearance is a result of non-trivial cancellations between the finite size effects and the Hernandez-Lopez correction.18 pages, one figure, v2: footnote changed, v3: reference added, typo correctedHigh Energy Physics - Theorytext
