Operator Product Expansion in String Theory on AdS 3
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the operator product expansion (OPE) in the string theory on AdS3. In particular, we discuss the OPE among the primary fields in the spectrum recently proposed for the SL(2, R) WZW model, which describes the strings on the Lorentzian AdS3. For this purpose, we calculate the correlation functions of the primary fields with definite SL2 weights. Using these correlation functions, we study the OPE in various cases, which include the cases involving the winding sectors. Our results so far are consistent with the closure of the OPE within the above spectrum. However, we need further investigations for a definite conclusion.

Strings in AdS 3 and the SL ( 2 , R ) WZW Model . Part 3 : Correlation Functions
We consider correlation functions for string theory on AdS 3. We analyze their singu-larities 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 ...
متن کاملThe Operator Product Expansion for Wilson Loops and Surfaces in the Large N Limit
The operator product expansion for “small” Wilson loops in N = 4, d = 4 SYM is studied. The OPE coefficients are calculated in the large N and g YMN limit by exploiting the AdS/CFT correspondence. We also consider Wilson surfaces in the (0, 2), d = 6 superconformal theory. In this case, we find that the UV divergent terms include a term proportional to the rigid string action. ∗Present address:...
متن کامل2 00 8 Saturation and Confinement : Analyticity , Unitarity and AdS / CFT Correspondence
In 1/Nc expansion, analyticity and crossing lead to crossing even and odd (C = ±1) vacuum exchanges at high-energy, the Pomeron and the Odderon. We discuss how, using String/Gauge duality, these can be identified with a reggeized Graviton and the anti-symmetric Kalb-Ramond fields in AdS background. With confinement, these Regge singularities interpolate with glueball states. We also discuss uni...
متن کاملThe Plane-Wave/Super Yang-Mills Duality
We present a self-contained review of the Plane-wave/super-Yang-Mills duality, which states that strings on a plane-wave background are dual to a particular large R-charge sector of N = 4, D = 4 superconformal U(N) gauge theory. This duality is a specification of the usual AdS/CFT correspondence in the “Penrose limit”. The Penrose limit of AdS5 × S leads to the maximally supersymmetric ten dime...
متن کاملString Theory on AdS 3 and Symmetric Products ∗
We consider string theory on a background of the form AdS 3 × N. Our aim is to give a description of the dual CFT in a general set up. With the requirement that we have N = 2 supersymmetry in spacetime, we provide evidence that the dual CFT is in the moduli space of a certain symmetric product M p /S p. On the way to show this, we reproduce some recent results on string propagation on AdS 3 and...
