Abstract
The problem of finding a holographic dual to string theory on AdS_3ק^3ק^3ק^1 is examined in depth. This background supports a large \CN=4 superconformal symmetry. While in some respects similar to the familiar small \CN=4 systems on AdS_3ק^3×K^3 and AdS_3ק^3×T^4, there are important qualitative differences. Using an analogue of the elliptic genus for large CN=4 theories we rule out all extant proposals--in their simplest form--for a holographic duality to supergravity at generic values of the background fluxes. Modifications of these extant proposals and other possible duals are discussed.
