The plane-wave spectrum from the worldsheet

High Energy Physics - Theory 2018-11-14 v2

Abstract

We study string theory on AdS3\mathrm{AdS}_3 backgrounds with mixed flux using the hybrid formalism of Berkovits, Vafa and Witten. We solve the worldsheet description of the theory completely in the plane-wave limit. This constitutes a direct derivation of the plane-wave spectrum from the worldsheet with mixed flux.
