Abstract

In this paper we prove the equivalence among (i) the weakly coupled worldsheet string theory described by the coset sigma model SL(2,R)k×U(1)U(1)×S3×T4\frac{SL(2,\mathbb{R})_k\times U(1)}{U(1)}\times S^3 \times T^4 with SL(2,R)SL(2,\mathbb{R}) WZW level k2k\geq 2, (ii) the full near horizon theory of the NS5 branes with kk NS5 branes wrapping T4×S1T^4\times S^1, p1p\gg1 F1 strings wrapping S1S^1 and nn units of momentum along the S1S^1 and (iii) the single trace TTˉT\bar{T} deformation of string theory in AdS3×S3×T4AdS_3\times S^3\times T^4. As a check we compute the spectrum of the spacetime theory by performing BRST quantization of the coset description of the worldsheet theory and show that it matches exactly with the one derived in the case of single trace TTˉT\bar{T} deformed string theory in AdS3AdS_3. Secondly, we compute the two-point correlation function of local operators of the spacetime theory using the worldsheet coset approach and reproduce the same two-point function from the supergravity approach.
