Abstract
We revisit semiclassical strings, in particular we focus on rigidly rotating strings, in the near horizon geometry of two orthogonal stacks of NS5-branes (I-branes) using the string sigma model. We determine the conserved charges for the probe string moving in the resulting ℝt × \( {S}_{\theta_1}^3 \) × \( {S}_{\theta_2}^3 \) background supported by NS-NS two-forms and find a regularized dispersion relation for different values of integration constants. Using configurations that move simultaneously on both spheres, we obtain the giant magnon like dispersion relation for one particular set of parameters, while other consistent set of values gives us a dispersion relation reminiscent of the single spike.
