abstract

We study string propagation on $AdS_3$ times a compact space from an ``old fashioned'' worldsheet point of view of perturbative string theory. We derive the spacetime CFT and its Virasoro and current algebras, thus establishing the conjectured $AdS$/CFT correspondence for this case in the full string theory. Our results have implications for the extreme IR limit of the $D1-D5$ system, as well as to 2+1 dimensional BTZ black holes and their Bekenstein-Hawking entropy.

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Reformulates J bar J deformation in CFTs as Riemann-bilinear operator dressing that preserves modular properties on Riemann surfaces and matches bare/renormalized perturbation theory.

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    The paper proposes that condensate competition in the 2d Gross-Neveu model generates an emergent AdS₃ bulk, a higher-spin tower, D1-branes, and linearized Einstein gravity with G₃ = ℓ_AdS/4πN².

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Explicit covering-space maps for three long twists plus any number of twist-2 operators are constructed, yielding closed-form four- and five-point bare twist correlators in the ΔN=1,2 cases.

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    On AdS3×S3×S3×S1, a Wilson-line deformation of the Spin(16)×Spin(16)⋊Z2 heterotic string produces a level-matched tachyon, so the classical moduli space contains unstable regions.

    hep-th 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper classifies families of closed bosonic string solutions in the near-horizon non-extremal BTZ spacetime and identifies novel features via string-Carroll expansion.

    Supersymmetric ergoregions without horizons in NS5-F1-P bound states are shown to admit negative-energy BPS excitations, described via gauged WZW models and mapped holographically to the dual CFT.

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Near-extremal AdS3 x S3 black holes are thermodynamically and dynamically unstable, decaying to a central black hole plus chiral primaries or new macroscopic giant strings.

    A new action for entanglement entropy in AdS3/CFT2 derives gravity equations, reduces to a string worldsheet, reproduces bit threads, and unifies several quantum gravity conjectures.
