Strings in AdS_3 and the SL(2,R) WZW Model. Part 1: The Spectrum
arXiv:hep-th/0001053 · doi:10.1063/1.1377273
Abstract
In this paper we study the spectrum of bosonic string theory on AdS_3. 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. This leads to a precise description of long strings. We prove a no-ghost theorem for all the representations that are involved and discuss the scattering of the long string.
