David Tong: Holography with Large N=4

Description

The holographic dual of string theory on AdS3 x S3 x S3 x S1 has a large N=4 superalgebra and has long been mysterious. I will describe a 2d gauge theory with N=(0,4) supersymmetry and will argue that it flows, in the infra-red, to a theory with large N=4 and the correct central charge.
