Green-Schwarz Superstrings on AdS3 and the Boundary N=4 Superconformal Algebra
Abstract
We study the hybrid formulation of Green-Schwarz superstrings on AdS3 with NS flux and the boundary N=4 superconformal algebra. We show the equivalence between the NSR and GS superstrings by a field redefinition. The boundary N=4 superconformal algebra is realized by the free fields of the affine Lie superalgebra A(1|1)(1). We also consider the light-cone gauge and obtain the N=4 super-Liouville theory which describes the effective theory of the single long string near the singularities of the D1-D5 system.
