Abstract
Strings in the three-dimensional anti-de Sitter space in the NS background is described by the SL(2, R) WZW model. We present a complete description of the Hilbert space of the model. We then compute the one-loop partition function for Euclidean BTZ black hole backgrounds or equivalently thermal AdS3 backgrounds which are quotients of Euclidean AdS3. We see long strings and discrete states in agreement with the structure of the Hilbert space.
