Tensionless strings on AdS3 × S3 × S3 × S1
摘要
We propose that string theory on AdS3 × S3 × S3 × S1 with two units of NS-NS flux through each of the two 3-spheres is exactly dual to the symmetric orbifold of 2 bosons and 8 free fermions. Here, one of the two bosons describes the compact S1, while the other one corresponds to the radial (non-compact) direction of AdS3. Unlike the analogous situation for AdS3 × S3 × 𝕋4, the description makes sense both in the NS-R as well as the hybrid formulation, and we explain the duality in both frameworks.
