Abstract
The symmetric orbifold of K3 is believed to be the conformal field theory (CFT) dual of string theory on at the tensionless point. For the case when the K3 is described by the orbifold , we identify a subsector of the symmetric orbifold theory that is dual to a higher spin theory on . We analyze how the Bogomol’nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) spectrum of string theory can be described from the higher spin perspective and determine which single-particle BPS states are accounted for by the perturbative higher spin theory.
