| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research is to develop techniques to study superstring theory on non-trivial backgrounds, in particular, on Anti-de Sitter (AdS) space. For this aim we clarified relations between conformal field theories in two dimensions by extending our previous works to a large class of supergroup models. We also utilized higher spin gauge theory and AdS/CFT duality. We generalized the duality with three dimensional AdS space, and succeeded to clarify the relation between higher spin gauge theory and superstring theory. Moreover, we were able to understand the mechanism of symmetry breaking in higher spin gauge theory by applying AdS/CFT duality.
