abstract

We study the duality between IIB string theory on a pp-wave background, arising as a Penrose limit of the AdS_3 times S^3 times M, where M is T^4 (or K3), and the 2D CFT which is given by the N=(4,4) orbifold (M)^N/S_N, resolved by a blowing-up mode. After analizying the action of the supercharges on both sides, we establish a correspondence between the states of the two theories. In particular and for the T^4 case, we identify both massive and massless oscillators on the pp-wave, with certain classes of excited states in the resolved CFT carrying large R-charge n. For the former, the excited states involve fractional modes of the generators of the N=4 chiral algebra acting on the Z_n ground states. For the latter, they involve, fractional modes of the U(1)^4_L times U(1)^4_R super-current algebra acting on the Z_n ground states. By using conformal perturbation theory we compute the leading order correction to the conformal dimensions of the first class of states, due to the presence of the blowing up mode. We find agreement, to this order, with the corresponding spectrum of massive oscillators on the pp-wave. We also discuss the issue of higher order corrections.

The Resolved Elliptic Genus and the D1-D5 CFT

hep-th · 2026-03-18 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

The resolved elliptic genus refines the supersymmetry index for the D1-D5 CFT by summing only over symmetry sectors that mix under a deformed supercharge, yielding agreement with supergravity below the black-hole threshold where the modified elliptic genus is trivial.

Signatures of Quantum Chaos in the D1D5 System

hep-th · 2026-05-18 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Finite-N non-planar mixing in the D1D5 CFT produces level repulsion and random-matrix statistics in symmetry-resolved sectors, while the planar large-N limit yields Poisson statistics.

Non-planar corrections in the symmetric orbifold

hep-th · 2026-05-07 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Non-planar corrections lift degeneracies in the spectrum of quarter BPS states in Sym^N(T^4) and introduce level repulsion plus random matrix statistics, showing integrability is restricted to the large N planar limit.

Interpolating between multi-center microstate geometries

hep-th · 2021-05-25 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Constructs a 2-center helical-profile solution that interpolates between two circular-profile Lunin-Mathur microstate geometries while exhibiting charge delocalization and transfer between centers.

Towering Gravitons in AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$

hep-th · 2026-04-22 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

A procedure dresses supergravitons with singletons to extend the BPS gravity-sector spectrum in AdS3/CFT2, yielding affine multiplets that match the D1-D5 CFT better after deformation up to higher levels.
