We compute string amplitudes on pp-waves supported by NS-NS 3-form fluxes and arising in the Penrose limit of AdS3 × S3 × . We clarify the role of the non-chiral accidental SU(2) symmetry of the background. We comment on the extension of our results to the superstring and propose a holographic formula in the BMN limit of the AdS3/CFT2 correspondence valid for any correlator.

On Hpp wave / CFT(2) holography

We briefly review the AdS3/CFT2 correspondence and the holographic issues that arise in the Penrose limit. Exploiting current algebra techniques, developped by D'Appollonio and Kiritsis for the…

AdS/CFT v.s. string loops

The one string-loop correction to the energies of two impurity BMN states are computed using IIB light-cone string field theory with an improved 3-string vertex that has been proposed by Dobashi and…

The diagonal cosets of the Heisenberg group

In this paper we study the diagonal cosets of the non-compact H4 WZW model. Generalising earlier work by Antoniadis and Obers, we provide an exact world-sheet description for several families of…

Large-N limits of 2d CFTs, quivers and AdS3 duals

We explore the large-N limits of 2d CFTs, focusing mostly on WZW models and their cosets. The SU(N)k theory is parametrized in this limit by a ’t Hooft-like coupling. We show a duality between strong…

Interactions for winding strings in Misner space

We compute correlation functions of closed strings in Misner space, which is a big crunch/big bang universe. We develop a general method for correlators with twist fields, which are relevant for the…

The abelian cosets of the Heisenberg group

In this paper we study the abelian cosets of the H4 WZW model. They coincide or are related to several interesting three-dimensional backgrounds such as the Melvin model, the conical point-particle…

Winding string condensation and noncommutative deformation of a spacelike singularity

In a previous paper [Jian-Huang She, J. High Energy Phys. 01 (2006) 002.] using a matrix model, we showed that closed string tachyons can resolve spacelike singularity in one particular class of…

BOUNDARY STATES IN THE NAPPI–WITTEN MODEL

We investigate D-branes in the Nappi–Witten model. Classically symmetric D-branes are classified by the (twisted) conjugacy classes of the Nappi–Witten group, which specify the geometry of the…

In this paper we study the diagonal cosets of the non-compact H4 WZW model. Generalising earlier work by Antoniadis and Obers, we provide an exact worldsheet description for several families of…

Strings in flat space and pp waves from N = 4 Super Yang Mills

We explain how the string spectrum in flat space and pp‐waves arises from the large N limit, at fixed gYM2, of U(N) N = 4 super Yang Mills. We reproduce the spectrum by summing a subset of the planar…
