Winding Strings in AdS3

چکیده
Correlation functions of one-unit spectral flowed states in string theory on AdS3 are considered. We present a formalism which allows to explicitly find the modified Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov and null vector equations to be satisfied by amplitudes of states in w = 1 sectors. We give a precise prescription to solve this system of linear differential equations in cases that are relevant to obtain three and four point functions involving spectral flowed string states. We specifically compute three point functions with two and three one-unit spectral flowed operators and also discuss four point functions. [email protected] [email protected]

Open Strings on AdS2 Branes
We study the spectrum of open strings on AdS2 branes in AdS3 in an NS-NS background, using the SL(2, R) WZW model. When the brane carries no fundamental string charge, the open string spectrum is the holomorphic square root of the spectrum of closed strings in AdS3. It contains short and long strings, and is invariant under spectral flow. When the brane carries fundamental string charge, the op...
متن کاملWinding strings and AdS3 black holes
We start a systematic study of string theory in AdS3 black hole backgrounds. Firstly, we analyse in detail the geodesic structure of the BTZ black hole, including spacelike geodesics. Secondly, we study the spectrum for massive and massless scalar fields, paying particular attention to the connection between Sl(2, R) subgroups, the theory of special functions and global properties of the BTZ bl...

In this paper we study the spectrum of bosonic string theory on AdS3 . We study classical solutions of the SL(2,R) WZW model, including solutions for long strings with nonzero winding number. We show that the model has a symmetry relating string configurations with different winding numbers. We then study the Hilbert space of the WZW model, including all states related by the above symmetry. Th...

We consider correlation functions for string theory on AdS3 . We analyze their singularities and we provide a physical interpretation for them. We explain which worldsheet correlation functions have a sensible physical interpretation in terms of the boundary theory. We consider the operator product expansion of the four-point function and we find that it factorizes only if a certain condition i...

متن کاملLarge Winding Sector of AdS/CFT
We study a family of classical strings on R × S subspace of the AdS5 × S background that interpolates between pulsating strings and single-spike strings. They are obtained from the helical strings of hep-th/0609026 by interchanging worldsheet time and space coordinates, which maps rotating/spinning string states with large spins to oscillating states with large winding numbers. From a finite-ga...
