String theory of supertubes
Abstract String theory on AdS 3 backgrounds arises as an IR limit of Little String Theory on NS5-branes. A wide variety of holographic RG flows from the fivebrane theory in the UV to (orbifolds of) AdS 3 in the IR is amenable to exact treatment in worldsheet string theory as a class of null-gauged W...
