Worldsheet four-point functions in AdS3/CFT2

چکیده
We calculate some extremal and non-extremal four-point functions on the sphere of certain chiral primary operators for strings on AdS3 ×S3 × T . The computation is done for small values of the spacetime cross-ratio where global SL(2) and SU(2) descendants may be neglected in the intermediate channel. Ignoring also current algebra descendants, we find that in the non-extremal case the integrated worldsheet correlators factorize into spacetime three-point functions, which is non-trivial due to the integration over the moduli space. We then restrict to the extremal case and compare our results with the four-point correlators recently computed in the dual boundary theory. We also discuss a particular non-extremal correlator involving two chiral and two anti-chiral operators. email: [email protected] email: [email protected]

Exact chiral ring of AdS3/CFT2
We carry out an exact worldsheet computation of tree level three-point correlators of chiral operators in type IIB string theory on AdS3×S×T 4 with NS-NS flux. We present a simple representation for the string chiral operators in the coordinate basis of the dual boundary CFT. Striking cancelations occur between the three-point functions of the H3 and the SU(2) WZW models which result in a simpl...
متن کاملHeterotic AdS3/CFT2 duality with (0,4) spacetime supersymmetry
We discuss the AdS3/CFT2 duality of a heterotic three-charge model with (0, 4) target space supersymmetry. The worldsheet theory for heterotic strings on the AdS3 × S/ZN × T 4 nearhorizon geometry was constructed by Kutasov, Larsen and Leigh in [hep-th/9812027]. We propose that the dual conformal field theory is given by a two-dimensional (0, 4) sigma model arising on the Higgs branch of an orb...
متن کاملStrings in AdS3 and the SL„2,R... WZW model. III. Correlation functions
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 کاملA deconstruction lattice description of the D1/D5 brane world-volume gauge theory
In this article, I generalize the deconstruction lattice formulation of Endres and Kaplan [hep-lat/0604012] to two-dimensional super-QCD with eight supercharges, denoted (4,4), and bifundamental matter. I specialize to a particularly interesting (4,4) gauge theory, with gauge group U(Nc) × U(Nf ), and U(Nf ) weakly gauged. It describes the infrared limit of the D1/D5 brane system, which has bee...
متن کاملPartition functions and elliptic genera from supergravity
We develop the spacetime aspects of the computation of partition functions for string/M-theory on AdS3 × M . Subleading corrections to the semi-classical result are included systematically, laying the groundwork for comparison with CFT partition functions via the AdS3/CFT2 correspondence. This leads to a better understanding of the “Farey tail” expansion of Dijkgraaf et. al. from the point of v...
