Correlators of the symmetric product orbifold

preprint2020arXivOpen access

Abstract

We exploit null vectors of the fractional Virasoro algebra of the symmetric product orbifold to compute correlation functions of twist fields in the large NN limit. This yields a new method to derive correlation functions in these orbifold CFTs that is purely based on the symmetry algebra. We explore various generalisations, such as subleading (torus) contributions or correlation functions of other fields than the bare twist fields. We comment on the consequences of our computation for the AdS3/CFT2\text{AdS}_3/\text{CFT}_2 correspondence.
