Long strings and chiral primaries in the hybrid formalism
Lorenz Eberhardt, Kevin Ferreira
We revisit two related phenomena in string theory backgrounds. At pure NS-NS flux, the spectrum contains a continuum of long strings which can escape to the bounda…

The plane-wave spectrum from the worldsheet
Lorenz Eberhardt, Kevin Ferreira
We study string theory on backgrounds with mixed flux using the hybrid formalism of Berkovits, Vafa and Witten. We solve the worldsheet description of the theory c…
