Abstract

String equations for the vertex operators of type IIB on AdS3×S3AdS_3\times S^3 background with NS-NS flux are calculated using Berkovits-Vafa-Witten formalism. With suitable field definitions, the linearized field equations for six-dimensional supergravity and a tensor multiplet on AdS3×S3AdS_3\times S^3 are recovered from these. We also discuss the massless degrees of freedom that survive the S3S^3 Kaluza-Klein compactification and how our vertex operators are related to the vertex operators introduced by Giveon, Kutasov and Seiberg.
