abstract

It was recently shown in arXiv:2009.11306 that tree-level correlation functions in tensionless string theory on $\rm{AdS}_3\times\rm{S}^3\times\mathbb{T}^4$ match the expected form of correlation functions in the symmetric orbifold CFT on $\mathbb{T}^4$ in the large $N$ limit. This analysis utilized the free-field realization of the $\mathfrak{psu}(1,1|2)_1$ Wess-Zumino-Witten model, along with a surprising identity directly relating these correlation functions to a branched covering of the boundary of $\rm{AdS}_3$. In particular, this identity implied the unusual feature that the string theory correlators localize to points in the moduli space for which the worldsheet covers the boundary of $\rm{AdS}_3$ with specified branching near the insertion points. In this work we generalize this analysis past the tree-level approximation, demonstrating its validity to higher genus worldsheets, and in turn providing strong evidence for this incarnation of the $\rm{AdS}/\rm{CFT}$ correspondence at all orders in perturbation theory.

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    String theory on AdS3×S3×S3×S1 with two units of flux on each sphere is conjectured to equal the symmetric orbifold of two bosons and eight free fermions.

  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.
