چکیده
We consider the one-loop partition function for Euclidean BTZ black hole backgrounds or equivalently thermal AdS3 backgrounds which are quotients of H3 ~Euclidean AdS3!. The one-loop partition function is modular invariant and we can read off the spectrum which is consistent to that found in hep-th/0001053. We see long strings and discrete states in agreement with the expectations. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1377039#

Strings in AdS 3 and the SL ( 2 , R ) WZW Model . Part 2 : Euclidean Black Hole
We consider the one-loop partition function for Euclidean BTZ black hole backgrounds or equivalently thermal AdS3 backgrounds which are quotients of H3 (Euclidean AdS3). The one-loop partition function is modular invariant and we can read off the spectrum which is consistent to that found in hep-th/0001053. We see long strings and discrete states in agreement with the expectations. On leave of ...
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 کاملEntropy and Conformal Field Theories of AdS 3 Models
We present a derivation of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy from conformal field theories. In particular we consider a six-dimensional string configuration with background metric AdS3 × S3 near the horizon. In addition we introduce momentum modes along the string, corresponding to a BanadosTeitelboim-Zanelli (BTZ) black hole in the anti-de Sitter (AdS) space-time, and a Taub-NUT soliton in the tr...
متن کاملStrings 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 کاملString Propagation in a Black Hole Geometry
We consider string theory in the background of the two-dimensional black hole as described by the SL(2, R)/U(1) coset theory recently introduced by Witten. We study the spectrum of this conformal field theory, and give explicit representations for the tachyon vertex operators in terms of SL(2, R) matrix elements. This is used to compute the scattering of strings off the black hole and to show t...
