Correlation Functions of Winding Strings in AdS_3

Abstract

We review certain results for amplitudes of spectral flowed operators in string theory on AdS_3. We present the modified Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov and null vector equations to be satisfied by correlators including w=1 operators. We then discuss the three point function of two w=1 and one w=0 operators in the x-basis, and perform a consistency check on the definition of the w=1 operator. We finally exhibit the steps in the calculation of the winding conserving four point functions for operators in arbitrary spectral flowed sectors, both in the m- and x-basis, under the only assumption that at least one of the operators is in the spectral flowed image of the highest weight discrete representation.
