Abstract

String theory on AdS3×S3×S3×S1\mathrm{ AdS}_3\times \mathrm{ S}^3 \times \mathrm{ S}^3 \times \mathrm{S}^1 with two units of NS flux through each of the two 33-spheres (and one unit of NS flux supporting the AdS3\mathrm{AdS}_3 factor) was recently argued to be exactly dual to the symmetric orbifold of eight free fermions and two bosons. This setup is interesting since it allows for a simple NS-R description. In this paper we study the spherical D-branes of this theory, and identify them with branes in the dual symmetric orbifold theory. We also comment briefly on the AdS2\mathrm{ AdS}_2 branes.
