String Theory on AdS 3 and Symmetric Products ∗

چکیده
We consider string theory on a background of the form AdS 3 × N. Our aim is to give a description of the dual CFT in a general set up. With the requirement that we have N = 2 supersymmetry in spacetime, we provide evidence that the dual CFT is in the moduli space of a certain symmetric product M p /S p. On the way to show this, we reproduce some recent results on string propagation on AdS 3 and extend them to the superstring.

The Spectrum of N = 3 String Theory on AdS 3 × G / H
We continue the study of string theory on AdS3 ×SU(3)/U(1) and AdS3 ×SO(5)/SO(3). We compute the spacetime spectrum of the N = 3 supersymmetric dual CFT using worldsheet techniques. The spectrum of chiral primaries coincides for the two models. Unlike N = 4 theories, the building block of the symmetric product in spacetime (corresponding to a single long string) is not by itself in the moduli s...
متن کاملSymmetric Subgroups of Gauged Supergravities and AdS String Theory Vertex Operators
We show how the gauge symmetry representations of the massless particle content of gauged supergravities that arise in the AdS/CFT correspondences can be derived from symmetric subgroups to be carried by string theory vertex operators in these compactified models, although an explicit vertex operator construction of IIB string and M theories on AdSxS remains elusive. Our symmetry mechanism para...
متن کامل2 00 8 Saturation and Confinement : Analyticity , Unitarity and AdS / CFT Correspondence
In 1/Nc expansion, analyticity and crossing lead to crossing even and odd (C = ±1) vacuum exchanges at high-energy, the Pomeron and the Odderon. We discuss how, using String/Gauge duality, these can be identified with a reggeized Graviton and the anti-symmetric Kalb-Ramond fields in AdS background. With confinement, these Regge singularities interpolate with glueball states. We also discuss uni...
متن کاملString Theory on AdS 3 Revisited ∗
We discuss string theory on AdS 3 × S 3 × M 4 with particular emphasis on unitarity and state-operator correspondence. The AdS-CFT correspondence, in the Minkowski signature, is reexamined by taking into account the only allowed unitary representation: the principal series module of the affine current algebra SL(2,R) supplemented with zero modes. Zero modes play an important role in the descrip...
متن کاملQuotients of anti - de Sitter space
We study the quotients of n + 1-dimensional anti-de Sitter space by oneparameter subgroups of its isometry group SO(2, n) for general n. We classify the different quotients up to conjugation by O(2, n). We find that the majority of the classes exist for all n ≥ 2. There are two special classes which appear in higher dimensions: one for n ≥ 3 and one for n ≥ 4. The description of the quotient in...
