More on Superstrings in AdS 3 ×N

چکیده
We study superstring theories on AdS3 × N backgrounds yielding N = 2, 3, 4 extended superconformal symmetries in the dual boundary CFT. In each case the necessary constraints on the internal worldsheet theory N are found.

Superstrings on AdS 5 × S 5 supertwistor space
We derive the Green-Schwarz action on AdS 5 × S 5 using an alternate version of the coset superspace construction. By Wick rotations and Lie algebra identifications we bring the coset to GL(4|4)/(Sp(4) ⊗ GL(1)) 2 , which allows us to represent the conformal transformations on unconstrained matrices. The derivation is more streamlined even for the bosonic sector, and conformal symmetry is manife...
متن کاملThe Algebraic Curve of Classical Superstrings on AdS 5 × S 5
We investigate the monodromy of the Lax connection for classical IIB superstrings on AdS 5 × S 5. For any solution of the equations of motion we derive a spectral curve of degree 4 + 4. The curve consists purely of conserved quantities, all gauge degrees of freedom have been eliminated in this form. The most relevant quantities of the solution, such as its energy, can be expressed through certa...
متن کاملSuperstring Theory on AdS 3 × G / H and Boundary N = 3 Superconformal Symmetry
Superstrings propagating on backgrounds of the form AdS3 ×G/H are studied using the coset CFT approach. We focus on seven dimensional cosets which have a semiclassical limit, and which give rise to N = 3 superconformal symmetry in the dual CFT. This is realized for the two cases AdS3 × SU(3)/U(1) and AdS3 × SO(5)/SO(3), for which we present an explicit construction. We also provide sufficient c...
متن کاملLarge N field theories from Superstrings 1
These are introductory lectures on the correspondence between SU(N) gauge theories and Superstring Theory in anti-de Sitter geometries (AdS). The subject combines a number of different topics, including supersymmetric field theory, classical and quantum physics of black holes, string theory, string dualities, conformal field theories (CFT), and quantum field theory in anti-de Sitter spaces. We ...
متن کاملComment on Field Redefinitions in the AdS/CFT Correspondence
We carry out field redefinitions in ten-dimensional Type IIB supergravity and show that they do not give rise to any physical corrections to the holographic renormalization group structure in the AdS/CFT correspondence. We in particular show that the holographic Weyl anomaly of the N = 4 SU(N) super Yang-Mills theory does not change under the field redefinition of the ten-dimensional metric of ...
