Conclusions
In this proceedings we have discussed the current algebras which define a worldsheet conformal field theory operator algebra for the type IIB superstring compactified on AdS 3 ×S 3 ×T 4 in the case where the background supports a NS-NS 2-form vev. Furthermore we displayed the Kaluza-Klein spectrum for the supergravity field theory associated with this compactification, and identified certain massless scalars in this spectrum as moduli. The vertex operators for these scalars were described in terms of their SU(1, 1)2 and SU(2)2 quantum numbers of the supergroup SU(1, 1/2)2.
