摘要
We consider worldsheet string theory on ZN orbifolds of AdS3 associated with conical singularities. If the orbifold action includes a similar twist of S3, supersymmetry is preserved, and there is a moduli space of vacua arising from blowup modes of the orbifold singularity. We exhibit the spectrum, including the properties of twisted sectors and states obtained by fractional spectral flow. A subalgebra of the spacetime superconformal symmetry remains intact after the ZN quotient, and serves as the spacetime symmetry algebra of the orbifold.
