چکیده
We consider correlation functions for string theory on AdS3 . We analyze their singularities 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 is obeyed. We explain that this is the correct physical result. We compute correlation functions involving spectral flowed operators and we derive a constraint on the amount of winding violation.

On 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 کاملStrings in AdS 3 and SL ( 2 , R ) WZW Model :
In this paper we study the spectrum of bosonic string theory on AdS3. 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. T...

متن کاملOperator Product Expansion in String Theory on AdS 3
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 st...
متن کاملStrings 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 ...
