We construct bosonic string theories, RNS string theories and heterotic string theories on flat supermanifolds. For these string theories, we show cancellations of the central charges and modular invariance. Bosonic string theories on…

We consider semiclassical quantization of spiky strings spinning in AdS_3 part of AdS_5 X S^5 using integrability-based (algebraic curve) method. In the "short string" (small spin) limit the expansion of string energy starts with its…

The free fermionic classification method provides a powerful tool to investigate string vacua, which led to the discovery of spinor--vector duality and exophobic string models. We extend the classification methodology to both…

The AdS_3/CFT_2 correspondence is checked beyond the supergravity approximation by comparing correlation functions. To this end we calculate 2- and 3-point functions on the sphere of certain chiral primary operators for strings on AdS_3 x…

We consider the classical solution describing a folded type IIA string in the background $AdS_4 \times \mathbb{CP}^3$. The string is spinning in $AdS$ and has angular momentum in $\mathbb{CP}^3$. In the 't Hooft limit, this is the gravity…

We study various methods for computing the one-loop correction to the energy of classical solutions to type IIA string theory in AdS4 x CP3. This involves computing the spectrum of fluctuations and then adding up the fluctuation…

In a direct open string approach we analyze scattering of massless states on a stack of D3-branes. First we construct vertex operators on the D-branes. The 4+6 splitting for the fermionic part is made possible by inserting appropriately…

We derive the masses acquired at one loop by massless scalars in the Neumann-Dirichlet sector of open strings, when supersymmetry is spontaneously broken. It is done by computing two-point functions of "boundary-changing vertex operators"…

We investigate the behaviour of the bosonic string on AdS3 with H-flux at stringy scales, looking in particular for a `tensionless' limit in which there are massless higher spin gauge fields. We do this by revisiting the physical spectrum…

In this paper we give an explicit construction of unfolded equations for massive higher spin supermultiplets of the minimal (1,0) supersymmetry in AdS_3 space. For that purpose we use an unfolded formulation for massive bosonic and…

We find a new class of spiky solutions for closed strings in flat, $AdS_3\subset AdS_5$ and $R\times S^2(\subset S^5)$ backgrounds. In the flat case the new solutions turn out to be T-dual configurations of spiky strings found by Kruczenski…

We compute the massive-sector worldsheet S-matrix for superstring theories in AdS(n) x S(n) x T(10-2n) (with n=2,3,5) in the near BMN expansion up to one-loop order in inverse string tension. We show that, after taking into account the wave…

We consider classical multi-spin string solutions in marginally deformed AdS4 x CP3. We reconsider the results of arXiv:1208.0389 and extend them to the non supersymmetric 3-deformation parameter background. After a general discussion, we…

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…

In this paper we study the spectrum of bosonic string theory on AdS_3. We study classical solutions of the SL(2,R) WZW model, including solutions for long strings with non-zero winding number. We show that the model has a symmetry relating…

We develop a method for computing the linearized gravitational backreaction for Nambu-Goto strings using a fully covariant formalism. We work with equations of motion expressed in terms of a higher dimensional analog of the geodesic…

We study the class of pulsating strings on $AdS_5\times T^{1,1}$. Using a generalized ansatz for pulsating string configurations we find new solutions of this class. Further we quasi-classically quantize the theory and obtain the first…

We construct non-supersymmetric AdS3 solutions of the O(16)xO(16) heterotic string. Most of the backgrounds have a classical worldsheet definition but are quantum string vacua in the sense that string loop corrections change the curvature…

Using a hybrid formalism, superstrings on AdS(3) x S(1) are studied in a manifestly supersymmetric manner. The world-sheet fields in this description including superspace coordinates are obtained through a field redefinition from the…

We use semiclassical method to study closed strings in the modified AdS_5*S^5 background with constant B-fields. The point-like closed strings and the streched closed strings rotating around the big circle of S^5 are considered.…
