Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

We review a formalism of superstring quantization with manifest six-dimensional spacetime supersymmetry, and apply it to AdS₃ × S³ backgrounds with Ramond-Ramond flux. The resulting description is a conformal field theory based on a sigma model whose target space is a certain supergroup SU′(2|2).
