It has recently been pointed out that under certain circumstances the back-reaction of charged, massive Dirac fermions causes important modifications to AdS_2 spacetimes arising as the near horizon geometry of extremal black holes. In a WKB…

The AdS_3 x S^3 string dynamics is described in a conformal gauge using the SL(2,R) and SU(2) group variables as the target space coordinates. A subclass of string surfaces with constant induced metric tensor on both AdS_3 and S^3…

We find explicit supergravity solutions which describe branes in the AdS_3 x S^3 background. These solutions preserve 8 of the 16 supersymmetries of this background, and are consistent with kappa-symmetry. These represent new 1/2-BPS states…

It was recently shown in arXiv:2009.11306 that tree-level correlation functions in tensionless string theory on $\rm{AdS}_3\times\rm{S}^3\times\mathbb{T}^4$ match the expected form of correlation functions in the symmetric orbifold CFT on…

We study charged AdS black hole solutions in five-dimensional Chern-Simons supergravity. The minimal supergroup containing such AdSxU(1) configurations is the superunitary group SU(2,2|N). For this model, we find analytic black hole…

We start a systematic study of string theory in AdS_3 black hole backgrounds. Firstly, we analyse in detail the geodesic structure of the BTZ black hole, including spacelike geodesics. Secondly, we study the spectrum for massive and…

We discuss string theory on AdS(3)xS(3)xM(4) with particular emphasis on unitarity and state-operator correspondence. The AdS-CFT correspondence, in the Minkowski signature, is re-examined by taking into account the only allowed unitary…

We report on progress in formulating a field theory of tensionless strings in $AdS_3$, starting from the dual large-$N$ symmetric orbifold CFT. We propose a set of field equations which are gauge invariant under the higher spin algebra of…

We use the anti-de Sitter (AdS) conformal field theory correspondence to calculate the conserved charges and the Euclidean actions of the charged rotating black string in four dimensions both in the canonical and the grand-canonical…

It was shown by Brown and Henneaux that the classical theory of gravity on AdS_3 has an infinite-dimensional symmetry group forming a Virasoro algebra. More recently, Giveon, Kutasov and Seiberg (GKS) constructed the corresponding Virasoro…

We build string backgrounds for Yang-Baxter deformations of the $AdS_4\times\mathbb{CP}^3$ superstring generated by $r$-matrices satisfying the classical Yang-Baxter equation. We obtain the metric and the NS-NS two-form of the gravity dual…

We consider the most general string configurations on the R_t x S^3 subspace of AdS_5 xS^5, described by the Neumann-Rosochatius integrable system. Under some restrictions on the parameters of the solution and in an appropriate limit, they…

Asymptotic symmetries of AdS$_4$ quantum gravity and gauge theory are derived by coupling the dual CFT$_3$ to Chern-Simons gauge theory and 3D gravity in a "probe" large-level limit. The infinite-dimensional symmetries are shown to arise…

We search for a possible bosonic (i.e. non-supersymmetric) string/gauge theory correspondence by using IIB and 0B strings as a guide. Our construction is based on the low-energy bosonic string effective action modified by an extra form…
