Description

It is useful to try and study backgrounds of string theory which exhibit a large unbroken symmetry. In this context, we describe how the unbroken stringy symmetries of the orbifold CFT dual to strings on AdS₃ × S³ × T⁴ can be usefully viewed through the lens of higher spin symmetry. We find a novel structure - the higher spin square - which is generated by two independent higher spin symmetries. This structure appears to be a useful way to also characterise the matter content of the theory.
