comments on string theory on $AdS_3$
We study string propagation on AdSs times a compact space from an "old fashioned" worldsheet point of view of perturbative string theory.We derive the spacetime CFT and its Virasoro and current algebras, thus establishing the conjectured AdS/CFT correspondence for this case in the full string theory.Our results have implications for …
