A brief review of string theory on group manifolds is given, and comparisons are then drawn between Minkowski space, SU(2), and SU(1,1) = AdS_3. The proof of the no-ghost theorem is outlined, assuming a certain restriction on the representation content for bosonic and fermionic strings on SU(1,1). Some possible connections with the AdS/CFT correspondence are mentioned. (Based on invited talk by JME at Trieste Conference on Super 5-branes and Physics in (5+1)-dimensions.)

  1. Hadrons in $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric QCD from non-Abelian string on 2D black hole

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    The hadron spectrum in N=2 SQCD with N_f=2N is given by the spectrum of a non-Abelian string on a 2D N=2 supersymmetric black hole, with a Higgs-to-string phase transition viewed as a conifold transition.
