Strings in AdS₃ and the SL(2,R) WZW Model. Part 1: The Spectrum
read the original abstract
In this paper we study the spectrum of bosonic string theory on AdS_3. We study classical solutions of the SL(2,R) WZW model, including solutions for long strings with non-zero winding number. We show that the model has a symmetry relating string configurations with different winding numbers. We then study the Hilbert space of the WZW model, including all states related by the above symmetry. This leads to a precise description of long strings. We prove a no-ghost theorem for all the representations that are involved and discuss the scattering of the long string.

One-loop effect in the charged 2D black hole near extremality
The one-loop correction to near-extremal quantum entropy in this charged 2D black hole is exponentially suppressed at low temperature but scales as sqrt(beta) when the sl(2,R) level and SL(2,R)-U(1) coupling are tuned...

On the $AdS_3\times S^3\times S^3\times S^1$ dressing factors
Dressing factors are proposed for the S-matrix of massive worldsheet excitations in AdS3×S3×S3×S1 with mixed RR/NSNS flux that satisfy crossing, unitarity, and reproduce perturbative results for any radius ratio.

Undulating Conformal Boundaries in 3D Gravity
Inhomogeneous torus boundaries in 3D gravity are thermodynamically favourable for AdS in the range 2 < K |Λ|^{-1/2} < 3/√2 and support macroscopic entropy for all Λ.
