Macroscopic (and microscopic) massless modes

We study certain spinning strings exploring the flat directions of AdS3×S3×S3×S1, the massless sector cousins of su(2) and sl(2) sector spinning strings. We describe these, and their vibrational modes, using the D(2,1;α)2 algebraic curve. By exploiting a discrete symmetry of this structure which rev...
