Superstrings in AdS
Published 13 Apr 2011 in hep-th | (1104.2604v3)
Abstract: This is a comprehensive review of the worldsheet techniques for the quantization of type IIB superstring theory on the AdS_5 x S5 background, using the pure spinor formalism. Particular emphasis is devoted to AdS/CFT applications, with several examples worked out in details. The review is self-contained and pedagogical. Table of contents: 1) Introduction; 2) Generalities; 3) Supercoset sigma models; 4) Quantum effective action and conformal invariance; 5) String spectrum; 6) Integrability.
