Abstract

We review recent progress in the study of non‐rational (boundary) conformal field theories and their applications to describe exact holographic backgrounds in superstring theory. We focus mainly on the example of the supersymmetric coset SL(2, ℝ)/U(1), corresponding to the two‐dimensional black hole, and its dual N = 2 Liouville. In particular we discuss the modular properties of their characters, their partition function as well as the exact boundary states for their various D‐branes. Then these results are used to construct the corresponding quantities in the CFT of the NS5‐brane background, with applications to Little String Theories.
