Abstract
We conjecture a two-dimensional conformal field theory built out of a linear dilaton and a compact βγ system deformed by winding condensates on each of the compact cycles. In particular, explicit expressions of the residues of the correlation functions are provided. As a worldsheet theory, it describes a stringy black hole in AdS3 (supported by the Kalb-Ramond flux) at the Hawking-Page temperature. It is expected to be connected to the Horowitz-Polchinski-like solution near the Hagedorn temperature of thermal AdS3 and Euclidean BTZ blackhole as we vary the temperature.
