WZW models based on super Lie algebras play an important role for the description of string theory on AdS spaces. In particular, for the case of AdS 3 × S 3 with pure NS–NS flux the super Lie algebra of psu (1 , 1 | 2) k appears in the hybrid formalism, and higher dimensional AdS spaces can be described in terms of related supergroup cosets. In this paper we study the WZW models based on u (2 | 2) 1 and psu (2 | 2) 1 that may play a role for the worldsheet theory that is dual to free super Yang–Mills in 4D. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
