More on supersymmetric tensionless rotating strings in AdS_5 x S^5

TL;DR

This paper explores supersymmetric tensionless rotating strings in AdS_5 x S^5, demonstrating their supersymmetry preservation across various angular momenta and discussing broader implications for tensionless strings in this space.

Contribution

It extends previous work by showing supersymmetric tensionless strings with arbitrary SO(6) angular momentum in AdS_5 x S^5.

Findings

Supersymmetric tensionless strings can have arbitrary SO(6) angular momentum.

Large angular momentum leads to ultra-relativistic, tensionless strings.

Discussion on general properties of tensionless strings in AdS_5 x S^5.

Abstract

Rotating IIB strings in AdS_5 x S^5 become ultra-relativistic, and hence effectively tensionless, in the limit of large angular momentum on S^5. We have shown previously that such tensionless strings may preserve supersymmetry. Here we extend this result to include a class of supersymmetric tensionless strings with arbitrary SO(6) angular momentum. We close with some general comments on tensionless strings in AdS_5 x S^5.
