摘要
String theory on AdS(3) x S-3 is studied in the hybrid formulation. We give a detailed description of the PSL(2 vertical bar 2) supergroup WZW model that underlies the background with pure NS-NS flux, and determine the BRST-cohomology corresponding to the massless string states. The resulting spectrum is shown to match exactly with the expected supergravity answer, including the sectors with small KK momentum on the sphere.
