abstract

We compute the worldsheet sphere partition function of string theory on global AdS$_3$ with pure NS-NS flux. Because of an unfixed M\"obius symmetry on the worldsheet, there is a cancellation of infinities and only a part of the answer is unambiguous. We show that it precisely reproduces the holographic Weyl anomaly and the ambiguous terms correspond to the possible counterterms of the boundary CFT.

  1. Non-supersymmetric strings on AdS$_3$: a world-sheet perspective

    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.

  2. The On-shell Gravity Action and Linear Dilaton Holography

    hep-th 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The Euclidean on-shell action for linear-dilaton three-dimensional string backgrounds yields a spacetime mass whose square-root form matches the TT-deformed CFT energy formula.
