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…

We study the duality between string theory on AdS_3 X S^3 X S^3 and two-dimensional conformal theories with large N=4 superconformal algebra A_gamma. We discuss configurations of intersecting branes which give rise to such near-horizon…

Motivated by superstring theories on $AdS_3$, we construct spacetime superconformal algebras (SCAs) living on the $AdS_3$ boundary in terms of the transversal physical degrees of freedom. The SCAs constructed are N=4 large, middle algebras,…

Conformal field theory of the D1/D5 system and superstrings on $AdS_3\times S^3\times T^4$ is studied with particular attention to the world-sheet fields corresponding to the $T^4$ part. A solution to the spacetime N=4 superconformal…

Motivated by recent progress on the correspondence between string theory on anti-de Sitter space and conformal field theory, we address the question of constructing space-time N extended superconformal algebras on the boundary of AdS_3.…

String backgrounds of the form AdS_3 x N that give rise to two dimensional spacetime superconformal symmetry are constructed.

Space-time N=2 and N=4 superconformal algebras can be built using world-sheet free fields or, equivalently, free field representations of osp(1|2) and sl(2|1), respectively. A prescription for the calculation of space-time correlators is…

We consider the non-interacting massive Wess-Zumino model in four-dimensional anti-de Sitter space and show that the conformal dimensions of the corresponding boundary fields satisfy the relations expected from superconformal invariance. In…

We discuss the importance of $Z_2$ symmetry of large $N=4$ superconformal algebra for finding its free field realization that is more complete than the most commonly used one, that is, the Sevrin, Troost and van Proeyen realization. This in…

D3-branes wrapping constant curvature Riemann surfaces give rise to 2D N = (0,2) SCFTs, where the superconformal fixed-points are mapped to vacua of 3D N =2 U(1)^3 gauged supergravity. In this work we determine the fermionic supersymmetry…

We initiate the study of a three dimensional disordered supersymmetric field theory. Specifically, we consider a $\mathcal{N}=2$ large $N$ Wess-Zumino like model with cubic superpotential involving couplings drawn from a Gaussian random…

In this note, we construct a Wess-Zumino-Witten model based on the Galilean conformal algebra in 2-spacetime dimensions, which is a nonrelativistic analogue of the relativistic conformal algebra. We obtain exact background corresponding to…

We consider a system of D5/D1 branes in the supergravity background AdS_3xS^3xX, where X is T^4 or K3. By investigating the structure of the missing states in the conformal description, we are able to extend the AdS/CFT correspondence to W…

In this thesis we study the AdS3 Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten model. We compute the Operator Product Expansion of primary fields as well as their images under the spectral flow automorphism in all sectors of the model by considering it as a…

We study the topologically twisted string theory on the general back-ground $AdS_3\times {\cal N}$ which is compatible with the world-sheet N=2 superconformal symmetry and is extensively discussed in the recent works (hep-th/9904024,…

We investigate an AdS_4 x L_2 D5-brane in AdS_5 x X_5 space-time, in the context of AdS/dCFT correspondence. Here, X_5 is a Sasaki-Einstein manifold and L_2 is a submanifold of X_5. This brane has the same supersymmetry as the 3-dimensional…

We present a derivation of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy from conformal field theories. In particular we consider a six-dimensional string configuration with background metric AdS_3 * S^3 near the horizon. In addition we introduce momentum…

We continue the study of string theory on AdS_3 x SU(3)/U(1) and AdS_3 x SO(5)/SO(3). We compute the spacetime spectrum of the N=3 supersymmetric dual CFT using worldsheet techniques. The spectrum of chiral primaries coincides for the two…

We study the possible D-brane configurations in an AdS_3 x S^3 x T^4 background with a NS-NS B field. We use its WZW model description and the boundary state formalism, and we analyze the bosonic and the N=1 supersymmetric cases separately.…

We investigate aspects of holographic duals to time-like warped AdS_3 space-times--which include G\"odel's universe--in string theory. Using worldsheet techniques similar to those that have been applied to AdS_3 backgrounds, we are able to…
