| Abstract: Studying strings on backgrounds with RR fluxes quantitatively is very challenging. A perfect arena to make progress is that of AdS3 geometries, where one may start from better-understood NSNS backgrounds and gently switch on RR fluxes. I will review the recent (and not-so-recent) progress in this direction, obtained by a combination of integrability, worldsheet CFT and dual CFT techniques at various points of the moduli space, including at two distinct "tensionless" points. |
