Higher genus correlators for tensionless $\rm{AdS}_3$ strings
Abstract
It was recently shown in arXiv:2009.11306 that tree-level correlation functions in tensionless string theory on match the expected form of correlation functions in the symmetric orbifold CFT on in the large limit. This analysis utilized the free-field realization of the Wess-Zumino-Witten model, along with a surprising identity directly relating these correlation functions to a branched covering of the boundary of . In particular, this identity implied the unusual feature that the string theory correlators localize to points in the moduli space for which the worldsheet covers the boundary of with specified branching near the insertion points. In this work we generalize this analysis past the tree-level approximation, demonstrating its validity to higher genus worldsheets, and in turn providing strong evidence for this incarnation of the correspondence at all orders in perturbation theory.
