We study a family of classical string solutions with large spins on R x S^3 subspace of AdS_5 x S^5 background, which are related to Complex sine-Gordon solitons via Pohlmeyer's reduction. The equations of motion for the classical strings…

Pure gravity in AdS$_3$ is a theory of boundary excitations, most simply expressed as a constrained free scalar with an improved stress tensor that is needed to match the Brown--Henneaux central charge. Excising a finite part of AdS gives…

We complete the description of the circular, elliptic three spin string on AdS_5 x S^5 having three large angular momenta (J_1,J_2,J_3) on S^5 in the language of the integrable SU(3) spin chain. First, we recover the string solution…

Spin Matrix theory (SMT) limits provide a way to capture the dynamics of the AdS/CFT correspondence near BPS bounds. On the string theory side, these limits result in non-relativistic sigma models that can be interpreted as novel…

We combine old and new quantum field theoretic arguments to show that any theory of stable or metastable higher spin particles can be coupled to gravity only when the gravity sector has a stringy structure. Metastable higher spin particles,…

We study the semiclassical spectrum of bosonic string theory on AdS_3 x S^1 in the limit of large AdS angular momentum. At leading semiclassical order, this is a subsector of the IIB superstring on AdS_5 x S^5. The theory includes strings…

The two-point Green function of a local operator in CFT corresponding to a massive symmetric tensor field on the AdS background is computed in the framework of the AdS/CFT correspondence. The obtained two-point function is shown to coincide…

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 reconsider semiclassical quantization of folded string spinning in AdS_3 part of AdS_5 X S^5 using integrability-based (algebraic curve) method. We focus on the "short string" (small spin S) limit with the angular momentum J in S^5…

We study the holographic principle of the two-point function in the case of a spinning string in the AdS/CFT correspondence. Following the general method proposed by Yoneya et al. for the bulk-boundary correspondence in the large $J$ limit,…

It was recently shown that the CFT dual of string theory on ${\rm AdS}_3 \times {\rm S}^3 \times T^4$, the symmetric orbifold of $T^4$, contains a closed higher spin subsector. Via holography, this makes precise the sense in which…

String theory on AdS$_3$ $\times$ S$^3$ $\times$ $\mathcal{M}_4$ provides a well-studied realization of AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$ holography, but its non-perturbative structure at finite $N \sim 1/G_N^{(3)}$ is largely unknown. A long-standing puzzle…
