More comments on string theory on AdS3

Description

We clarify a number of issues regarding the worldsheet and spacetime descriptions of string propagation on AdS3. We construct the vertex operators of spacetime current algebra and spacetime (super) Virasoro generators in the full interacting SL(2) WZW theory and study their Ward identities. We also explain the relation between the analysis in this note and some recent work on this subject. (author)
