Spacetime supersymmetry in $AdS_3$ backgrounds

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

We construct string target spacetimes with AdS_3 x X geometry, which have an N=2 spacetime superconformal algebra. X is found to be a U(1) fibration over a manifold which is a target for an N=2 worldsheet conformal field theory. We emphasize theories with free field realizations where in principle it is possible to compute the full one-particle string spectrum.
