String Theory on AdS3/ZN
نویسنده
چکیده
We study string theory on singular ZN quotients of AdS3, corresponding to spaces with conical defects. The spectrum is computed using the orbifold procedure. It is shown that spectral flow may be used to generate the twisted sectors. We further compute the thermal partition function and show that it correctly reproduces the spectrum.

2 Constraints from Modular invariance
We consider C/ZN and C/ZN orbifolds of heterotic string theories and ZN orbifolds of AdS3. We study theories with N=2 worldsheet superconformal invariance and construct RG flows. Following Harvey, Kutasov, Martinec and Moore, we compute gcl and show that it decreases monotonically along RG flowsas conjectured by them. For the heterotic string theories, the gauge degrees of freedom do not contri...

متن کاملString Theory on AdS Orbifolds
We consider worldsheet string theory on ZN orbifolds of AdS3 associated with conical singularities. If the orbifold action includes a similar twist of S3, supersymmetry is preserved, and there is a moduli space of vacua arising from blowup modes of the orbifold singularity. We exhibit the spectrum, including the properties of twisted sectors and states obtained by fractional spectral flow. A su...
متن کاملUnitary Representations of Some Infinite Dimensional Lie Algebras Motivated by String Theory on AdS3
We consider some unitary representations of infinite dimensional Lie algebras motivated by string theory on AdS3. These include examples of two kinds: the A,D,E type affine Lie algebras and the N = 4 superconformal algebra. The first presents a new construction for free field representations of affine Lie algebras. The second is of a particular physical interest because it provides some hints t...
متن کاملThe String Theory on AdS3 as a Marginal Deformation of a Linear Dilaton Background
We investigate N -point string scattering amplitudes in AdS3 space. Based on recent observations on the solutions of KZ and BPZ-type differential equations, we discuss how to describe the string theory in AdS3 as a marginal deformation of a (flat) linear dilaton background. This representation resembles the called “discrete light-cone Liouville” realization as well as the FZZ dual description i...
