AdS 3 orbifolds, BTZ black holes, and holography

Abstract Conical defects of the form (AdS 3 × S 3 $$ {\mathbbm{S}}^3 $$ )/ℤ k have an exact orbifold description in worldsheet string theory, which we derive from their known presentation as gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten models. The configuration of strings and fivebranes sourcing this geometry is well-...
