Worldsheet string theory on

Lorenz Eberhardt, Matthias R. Gaberdiel, Sameer Murthy +1

The RNS formalism describing string theory on supported by pure NS-NS flux is in principle straightforward to write down. On…

Classification of c=1 CFTs

Lorenz Eberhardt, Nat Levine

We completely classify unitary 2d CFTs with central charge and discrete spectrum. We confirm the folklore that the only such theories are the compact free boson, its $\mathbb…

CFT characters from localization

Lorenz Eberhardt, Duarte Fragoso, Hessel Posthuma

We explain a general procedure to compute characters of chiral algebras of 2d (S)CFTs geometrically from their coadjoint orbits, in analogy with the coadjoint orbit method for fini…

The Runkel-Watts string

Mattia Biancotto, Lorenz Eberhardt, Victor A. Rodriguez +1

We introduce and solve a new family of two-dimensional string theories obtained by coupling Liouville CFT to the generalized Runkel-Watts CFT. By taking an appropriate limit of the…

What makes spacetime spin in string theory?

Matilda Delgado, Lorenz Eberhardt, Marija Tomašević

Type II string theory in the absence of orientifolds requires the target spacetime to admit a spin structure. We show that this familiar requirement arises directly from the co…

strings as a matrix integral

Scott Collier, Lorenz Eberhardt, Victor A. Rodriguez

We study the perturbative -matrix of the string and show that it admits a description in terms of a double-scaled (0+0)-dimensional matrix integral based on the spectral c…
