We investigate the pp-wave limit of the AdS_3\times S^3\times K3 compactification of Type IIB string theory from the point of view of the dual Sym_N(K3) CFT. It is proposed that a fundamental string in this pp-wave geometry is dual to the c=6 effective string of the Sym_N(K3) CFT, with the string bits of the latter being composed of twist operators. The massive fundamental string oscillators correspond to certain twisted Virasoro generators in the effective string. It is shown that both the ground states and the genus expansion parameter (at least in the orbifold limit of the CFT) coincide. Surprisingly the latter scales like J^2/N rather than the J^4/N^2 which might have been expected. We demonstrate a leading-order agreement between the pp-wave and CFT particle spectra. For a degenerate special case (one NS 5-brane) an intriguing complete agreement is found.

  1. The Triplet Perturbation of the Symmetric Orbifold

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The triplet perturbation of the T4 symmetric orbifold is shown to preserve the same integrable structure as the singlet and is identified with the self-dual R-R 2-form modulus in AdS3/CFT2.

  2. Interpolating between multi-center microstate geometries

    hep-th 2021-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.
