Title: A perturbative CFT dual for pure NS–NS AdS3 strings

Journal Article · · Journal of Physics. A, Mathematical and Theoretical

We construct a conformal field theory dual to string theory on AdS3 with pure NS–NS flux. It is given by a symmetric orbifold of a linear dilaton theory deformed by a marginal operator from the twist-2 sector. We compute two- and three-point functions on the CFT side to 4th order in conformal perturbation theory at large N. They agree with the string computation at genus 0, thus providing ample evidence for a duality. We also show that the full spectra of both short and long strings on the CFT and the string side match. Furthermore, the duality should be understood as perturbative in N–1.
