Superconformal algebras in light-cone gauge quantization of string theories on AdS3 Original Research Article

Motivated by superstring theories on AdS3, we construct spacetime superconformal algebras (SCAs) living on the AdS3 boundary in terms of the transversal physical degrees of freedom. The SCAs constructed are N=4 large, middle algebras, and N=3 algebra, corresponding to superstring theories on AdS3×S3×S3×S1, AdS3×S3×T4 and AdS3×(S3×S3×S1)/Z2 backgrounds, respectively.
