The Small $\mathcal{N}=4$ Superconformal ${\mathcal{W}}_{\infty }$ Algebra

Abstract

The symmetric orbifold of ${\mathbb{T}}^4$ is the CFT dual of string theory on AdS${}_3\times {\mathrm{S}}^3\times {\mathbb{T}}^4$ with minimal NS-NS flux. We study its symmetry algebra and provide evidence that it does not have any deformation parameter. This suggests that the symmetric orbifold is (at least locally) the most symmetrical CFT in its moduli space.
