Stress-energy tensor correlators from the world-sheet

Abstract

The large $N$ limit of symmetric orbifold theories was recently argued to have an AdS/CFT dual world-sheet description in terms of an $\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})$ WZW model. In previous work the world-sheet state corresponding to the symmetric orbifold stress-energy tensor was identified. We calculate certain 2- and 3-point functions of the corresponding vertex operator on the world-sheet, and demonstrate that these amplitudes reproduce exactly what one expects from the dual symmetric orbifold perspective.
