Strings on Plane Waves and AdS x S

John Son

We consider the RNS superstrings in $A d S_{3} \times S^{3} \times M$ , where $M$ may be $K 3$ or $T^{4}$ , based on $S L (2, R)$ and SU(2) WZW models. We construct the physical stat…

String Theory on AdS_3/Z_N

John Son

We study string theory on singular Z_N quotients of AdS_3, corresponding to spaces with conical defects. The spectrum is computed using the orbifold procedure. It is shown that spe…

Strings in AdS_3 and the SL(2,R) WZW Model. Part 2: Euclidean Black Hole

Juan Maldacena, Hirosi Ooguri, John Son

We consider the one-loop partition function for Euclidean BTZ black hole backgrounds or equivalently thermal AdS_3 backgrounds which are quotients of H_3 (Euclidean AdS_3). The one…
