abstract

We employ the free field realisation of the $\mathfrak{psu}(1,1|2)_1$ world-sheet theory to constrain the correlators of string theory on ${\rm AdS}_3\times {\rm S}^3\times \mathbb{T}^4$ with unit NS-NS flux. In particular, we directly obtain the unusual delta function localisation of these correlators onto branched covers of the boundary ${\rm S}^2$ by the (genus zero) world-sheet -- this is the key property which makes the equivalence to the dual symmetric orbifold manifest. In our approach, this feature follows from a remarkable `incidence relation' obeyed by the correlators, which is reminiscent of a twistorial string description. We also illustrate our results with explicit computations in various special cases.

  1. Covering space maps for $n$-point functions with three long twists

    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.

  2. The $\alpha$-states of a string worldsheet

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The α-states of the Hurwitz worldsheet are symmetric-group characters weighted by the Poissonized Plancherel measure, so string amplitudes are ensemble averages whose weak-coupling limit is Kerov's central limit theorem.

  3. Remarks on Associated Varieties and Minimal Tension Holography

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The associated variety of the psl(2|2) vertex algebra is identified with the cotangent bundle of the twistor space of the AdS3 boundary, and a new quotient-free free field realization of V1(psl(4|4)) is written down.
