Free field realization of superstring theory on AdS3
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Coulomb gas representation of expectation values in SU(2) conformal field theory developed by Dotsenko is extended to the SL(2,R) WZW model and applied to bosonic string theory on AdS3 and to Type II superstrings on AdS3×N . The spectral flow symmetry is included in the free field realization of vertex operators creating superstring states of both Ramond and Neveu-Schwarz sectors. Conjugate representations for these operators are constructed and a background charge prescription is designed to compute correlation functions. Two and three point functions of bosonic and fermionic string states in arbitrary winding sectors are calculated. Scattering amplitudes that violate winding number conservation are also discussed.

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 کاملGreen-Schwarz Superstrings on AdS3 and the Boundary N = 4 Superconformal Algebra
We study the hybrid formulation of Green-Schwarz superstrings on AdS3 with NS flux and the boundary N = 4 superconformal algebra. We show the equivalence between the NSR and GS superstrings by a field redefinition. The boundary N = 4 superconformal algebra is realized by the free fields of the affine Lie superalgebra A(1|1)(1). We also consider the light-cone gauge and obtain the N = 4 superLio...
متن کاملSuperconformal 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 کاملOn Hpp-wave/cft 2 Holography *
We briefly review the AdS3/CFT2 correspondence and the holographic issues that arise in the Penrose limit. Exploiting current algebra techniques, developped by D’Appollonio and Kiritsis for the closely related Nappi-Witten model, we obtain preliminary results for bosonic string amplitudes in the resulting Hpp-wave background and comment on how to extend them to the superstring. The AdS3/CFT2 ho...
