Abstract
We propose that string theory on AdS3 × S3 × S3 × S1 with two units of NS-NS flux through each of the two 3-spheres is exactly dual to the symmetric orbifold of 2 bosons and 8 free fermions. Here, one of the two bosons describes the compact S1, while the other one corresponds to the radial (non-compact) direction of AdS3. Unlike the analogous situation for AdS3 × S3 × 𝕋4, the description makes sense both in the NS-R as well as the hybrid formulation, and we explain the duality in both frameworks.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the Journal of High Energy Physics (JHEP) is to ensure fast and efficient online publication tools to the scientific community, while keeping that community in charge of every aspect of the peer-review and publication process in order to ensure the highest quality standards in the journal.
Consequently, the Advisory and Editorial Boards, composed of distinguished, active scientists in the field, jointly establish with the Scientific Director the journal''s scientific policy and ensure the scientific quality of accepted articles.
JHEP presently encompasses the following areas of theoretical and experimental physics:
Collider Physics
Underground and Large Array Physics
Quantum Field Theory
Gauge Field Theories
Symmetries
String and Brane Theory
General Relativity and Gravitation
Supersymmetry
Mathematical Methods of Physics
Mostly Solvable Models
Astroparticles
Statistical Field Theories
Mostly Weak Interactions
Mostly Strong Interactions
