Light-Cone Gauge Quantization of String Theories on AdS3 Space
نویسندگان
چکیده
Light-cone gauge quantization procedures are given, for superstring theory on AdS3 space charged with NS-NS background, both in NSR and GS formalism. The spacetime (super)conformal algebras are constructed in terms of the transversal physical degrees of freedom. The spacetime conformal anomaly agrees with that of covariant formalism, provided that the worldsheet conformal anomaly c equals 26 or 15 for bosonic string or superstring, respectively. The spacetime (super)conformal field theory is found to correspond to orbifold construction on symmetric product space SympM/Zp. e-mail: [email protected] e-mail: [email protected]

Superconformal Algebras in Light-cone Gauge Quantization of String Theories on AdS3
Motivated by superstring theories on AdS3, we construct spacetime superconformal algebras (SCAs) living on the AdS3 boundary in terms of the transversal physical degrees of freedom. The SCAs constructed are N=4 large, middle algebras, and N = 3 algebra, corresponding to superstring theories on AdS3 × S × S × S, AdS3 × S × T 4 and AdS3 × (S × S × S)/Z2 backgrounds respectively. e-mail: jingj@itp...
متن کاملTwo Dimensional Anti-de Sitter Space and Discrete Light Cone Quantization
We realize the two dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS2) space as a KaluzaKlein reduction of the AdS3 space in the framework of the discrete light cone quantization (DLCQ). Introducing DLCQ coordinates which interpolate the original (unboosted) coordinates and the light cone coordinates, we discuss that AdS2/CFT correspondence can be deduced from the AdS3/CFT . In particular, we elaborate on the de...
متن کاملLightcone Quantization of String Theory Duals of Free Field Theories
We quantize in light cone gauge the bosonic sector of string theory on Anti-de Sitter space in the zero curvature radius limit. We find that the worldsheet falls apart into a theory of free partons and map the Hilbert space of the string theory to the Hilbert space of a free scalar in light-front description. We outline how the string worldsheet reproduces the field theory at weak coupling.
متن کاملThe 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 کاملLight-cone Quantization of Quantum Chromodynamics*
We discuss the light-cone quantization of gauge theories from two perspectives: as a calculational tool for representing hadrons as QCD bound-states of relativistic quarks and gluons, and also as a novel method for simulating quantum field theory on a computer. The light-cone Fock state expansion of wavefunctions at fixed light cone time provides a precise definition of the parton model and a g...
