Unitarity of supersymmetric SL ( 2 , R ) / U ( 1 ) and no - ghost theorem for fermionic strings in AdS 3 ×N
نویسنده
چکیده
The unitarity of the NS supersymmetric coset SL(2, R)/U(1) is studied for the discrete representations. The results are applied to the proof of the no-ghost theorem for fermionic strings in AdS3×N in the NS sector. A no-ghost theorem is proved for states in flowed discrete representations.

Strings in AdS 3 and the SL ( 2 , R ) WZW Model . Part 1 : The Spectrum
In this paper we study the spectrum of bosonic string theory on AdS 3. We study classical solutions of the SL(2, R) WZW model, including solutions for long strings with non-zero 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. ...

متن کاملOn String Theory in Ads 3 Backgrounds *
We discuss the string theory on AdS3. In the first half of this talk, we review the SL(2, R) and the SL(2, C)/SU(2) WZW models which describe the strings on the Lorentzian and Euclidean AdS3 without RR backgrounds, respectively. An emphasis is put on the fundamental issues such as the unitarity, the modular invariance and the closure of the OPE. In the second half, we discuss some attempts at c...
متن کاملString Theory on AdS 3 Revisited ∗
We discuss string theory on AdS 3 × S 3 × M 4 with particular emphasis on unitarity and state-operator correspondence. The AdS-CFT correspondence, in the Minkowski signature, is reexamined by taking into account the only allowed unitary representation: the principal series module of the affine current algebra SL(2,R) supplemented with zero modes. Zero modes play an important role in the descrip...
