The Spectrum of N=3 String Theory on AdS_3 x G/H
Riccardo Argurio, Amit Giveon, Assaf Shomer
We continue the study of string theory on AdS_3 x SU(3)/U(1) and AdS_3 x SO(5)/SO(3). We compute the spacetime spectrum of the N=3 supersymmetric dual CFT using worldsheet techniqu…
Superstrings on AdS_3 and Symmetric Products
Riccardo Argurio, Amit Giveon, Assaf Shomer
Some properties of N=2 superstrings on AdS_3 x N are studied. Their spectrum has the same pattern as 2-d CFTs in the moduli space of symmetric products M^p/S_p, where p is associat…
D-Branes in the Background of NS Fivebranes
Shmuel Elitzur, Amit Giveon, David Kutasov +2
We study the dynamics of -branes in the near-horizon geometry of fivebranes. This leads to a holographically dual description of the physics of -branes ending on and/or…
Superstring Theory on AdS_3 x G/H and Boundary N=3 Superconformal Symmetry
Riccardo Argurio, Amit Giveon, Assaf Shomer
Superstrings propagating on backgrounds of the form AdS_3 x G/H are studied using the coset CFT approach. We focus on seven dimensional cosets which have a semiclassical limit, and…
