Title:
Correlation functions in AdS3/CFT2
Speaker:
Abstract:
String theory on AdS3xS3xT4 with one unit of pure NS-NS background flux is conjectured to be dual to the symmetric product orbifold of T4. This is established at the level of the full spectrum. In this talk I will report on the matching of correlation functions in the duality. I review the worldsheet theory based on the SL(2,R) WZW model and focus especially on spectrally flowed correlators. The string theory moduli space integral is argued to localise to a finite sum. I will also discuss the corresponding classical solutions of the SL(2,R) WZW model and show that their on-shell action precisely reproduce the correlation functions in the symmetric product orbifold as calculated by path integral methods.
