Title: 

Worldsheet kinematics in mixed-flux AdS3 backgrounds

Abstract:

In this talk I will discuss recent insights into the intricate 
kinematical and analytical structure of fundamental excitations and 
bound states on the worldsheet of light cone gauge fixed string theory 
on AdS3 x S3 x T4 supported by both RR and NSNS flux. The understanding 
of these structures is essential for fully fixing the closed string 
spectrum using integrability techniques. In particular I will highlight 
some interesting new phenomena that do not occur for standard 
relativistic field theories, or the parity invariant world sheet 
theories of AdS5 x S5 or AdS3 x S3 x T4 supported by RR flux.
