Spectral flow in AdS $_{3}$ revisited

Nathan McStay, Ronald Reid-Edwards, Sean Seet

We revisit an old idea that spectral flow in WZW models can be associated with certain $G$ -bundles over a worldsheet. This allows us to introduce a novel method for computing corre…

A superspace approach to AdS $_{3}$ string theory

Bob Knighton, Nathan McStay, Vit Sriprachyakul

We carefully examine the Polyakov path integral for strings on $AdS_{3}$ in superspace, both for type II and heterotic superstrings. We construct a free-field realization of t…

String theory in twistor space and minimal tension holography

N. M. McStay, R. A. Reid-Edwards

Explicit examples of the AdS/CFT correspondence where both bulk and boundary theories are tractable are hard to come by, but the minimal tension string on $AdS_3 \times S^3 \times…

Symmetries and Covering Maps for the Minimal Tension String on $Ad S_{3} \times S^{3} \times T^{4}$

N. M. McStay, R. A. Reid-Edwards

This paper considers a recently-proposed string theory on $A d S_{3} \times S^{3} \times T^{4}$ with one unit of NS-NS flux ( $k = 1$ ). We discuss interpretations of the target space, including…
