Abstract

Some properties of N = 2 superstrings on AdS3 × N are studied. Their spectrum has the same pattern as 2-d CFTs in the moduli space of symmetric products MP/SP, where p is associated with the number of long fundamental strings required to construct the AdS3 background, and M is the spacetime CFT corresponding to short string excitations of a single long string. Worldsheet operators associated with w long strings correspond to twisted sectors of MP/SP.
