Abstract

We study the BRST quantization of bosonic and NSR strings propagating in AdS₃ × N backgrounds. The no-ghost theorem is proved using the Frenkel-Garland-Zuckerman method. Regular and spectrally-flowed representations of affine SL(2, ℝ) appear on an equal footing. Possible generalizations to related curved backgrounds are discussed.
