Tensionless AdS3/CFT2 and Single Trace TTbar Deformation in String Theory

Explore a high energy physics seminar presentation that delves into the exact duality between string theory and non-conformal field theory, focusing on tensionless k=1 strings on AdS_3 and symmetric product CFT_2. Learn about the construction of bulk theory as a marginal deformation of k=1 AdS_3 string and its spacetime dual in single trace TTbar-deformed symmetric orbifold theory. Examine the exact match between one-loop bulk and boundary torus partition functions, presented by Andrea Dei from the University of Chicago, based on collaborative research with Bob Knighton, Kiarash Naderi, and Savdeep Sethi as detailed in their work 2408.00823.
