Abstract

We review a formalism of superstring quantization with manifest six-dimensional spacetime supersymmetry, and apply it to AdS3 x 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).
