More on supersymmetric tensionless rotating strings in AdS_5 x S^5

Abstract

Rotating IIB strings in AdS_5 x S^5 become ultra-relativistic, and hence effectively tensionless, in the limit of large angular momentum on S^5. We have shown previously that such tensionless strings may preserve supersymmetry. Here we extend this result to include a class of supersymmetric tensionless strings with arbitrary SO(6) angular momentum. We close with some general comments on tensionless strings in AdS_5 x S^5.Comment: Contribution to the 3rd International Symposium on Quantum Theory and Symmetries (QTS3), Cincinnati, 10-14 Sep 200
