Aspects of the free field description of string theory on AdS 3 Gastón Giribet and Carmen
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.

We consider string theory on AdS3 in terms of the Wakimoto free field representation. The scattering amplitudes for N tachyons are analysed in the factorization limit and the poles corresponding to the mass-shell conditions for physical states are extracted. The vertex operators for excited levels are obtained from the residues and their properties are examined. PACS: 11.25.-w

The computation of two and three point functions in the Coulomb gas free field approach to string theory in the SL(2,R)/U(1) black hole background is reviewed. An interesting relation arises when comparing the results obtained using two different screening operators. The formalism is then modified to study string theory propagating in AdS3 which is considered as the direct product of the SL(2)/...

We consider string theory on AdS3 in terms of the Wakimoto free field representation. The scattering amplitudes for N unitary tachyons are analysed in the factorization limit and the poles corresponding to the mass-shell conditions for physical states are extracted. The vertex operators for excited levels are obtained from the residues and their properties are examined. Negative norm states are...
