High Energy Theory Seminar
Online and In-Person Event
Tensionless AdS_3/CFT_2 and Single Trace TTbar
Andrea Dei,
University of Chicago,
One of the best understood AdS/CFT incarnations relates tensionless k=1 strings on AdS_3 to a symmetric product CFT_2. I will discuss an exact duality between string theory on a spacetime which is not asymptotically AdS and a non-conformal field theory. The bulk theory is constructed as a marginal deformation of the k=1 AdS_3 string, while the spacetime dual is a single trace TT-deformed symmetric orbifold theory. As evidence for the duality, I am going to show the exact match of the one-loop bulk and boundary torus partition functions.
Based on 2408.00823 in collaboration with Bob Knighton, Kiarash Naderi and Savdeep Sethi.
The talk is in 469 Lauritsen.
