Abstract

Several string backgrounds which arise in the AdS/CFT correspondence are described by integrable sigma-models. Their target space is always a \( {\mathbb{Z}_4} \) supercoset (a semi-symmetric superspace). Here we list all semi-symmetric cosets which have zero beta function and central charge c ≤ 26 at one loop in perturbation theory.
