Aspects of the free field description of string theory on AdS3
نویسندگان
چکیده
The near boundary limit of string theory in AdS3 is analysed using the Wakimoto free field representation of SL(2, R). The theory is considered as a direct product of the SL(2, R)/U(1) coset and a free boson. Correlation functions are constructed generalizing to the non-compact case the integral representation of conformal blocks introduced by Dotsenko in the compact SU(2) CFT. Sectors of the theory obtained by spectral flow manifestly appear. The formalism naturally leads to consider scattering processes violating winding number conservation. The consistency of the procedure is verified in the factorization limit.

The 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...
متن کاملString theory on AdS 3 Jan deBoer
It was shown by Brown and Henneaux that the classical theory of gravity on AdS3 has an infinite-dimensional symmetry group forming a Virasoro algebra. More recently, Giveon, Kutasov and Seiberg (GKS) constructed the corresponding Virasoro generators in the first-quantized string theory on AdS3. In this paper, we explore various aspects of string theory on AdS3 and study the relation between the...

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...
