Abstract

We study Horowitz-Polchinski string stars in pure AdS₃ near the Hagedorn temperature using the technique of worldsheet conformal perturbation theory. Since the worldsheet CFT for pure AdS₃ is known exactly, our methodology provides a systematic way to construct Horowitz-Polchinski backgrounds to all orders in α'. We explicitly construct the leading string star equations in a double expansion in temperature and WZW level k which we then solve numerically.
