The AdS$_{3}$ × S$^{1}$ chiral ring

We study AdS3× S1× Y supersymmetric string theory backgrounds with Neveu-Schwarz-Neveu-Schwarz flux that are dual to $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 superconformal theories on the boundary. We classify all worldsheet vertex operators that correspond to space-time chiral primaries. We compute space-time chiral ring structure constants for operators in the zero spectral flow sector using the operator product expansion in the worldsheet theory. We find that the structure constants take a universal form that depends only on the topological data of the $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 superconformal theory on Y.
