Tensionless strings on AdS3 × S3 × S3 × S1
A bstract We propose that string theory on AdS 3 × S 3 × S 3 × S 1 with two units of NS-NS flux through each of the two 3-spheres is exactly dual to the symmetric orbifold of 2 bosons and 8 free fermions. Here, one of the two bosons describes the compact S 1 , while the other one corresponds to the radial (non-compact) direction of AdS 3 . Unlike the analogous situation for AdS 3 × S 3 × 𝕋 4 , the description makes sense both in the NS-R as well as the hybrid formulation, and we explain the duality in both frameworks.
