Abstract
We show how the gauge symmetry representations of the massless particle content of gauged supergravities that arise in the AdS/CFT correspondences can be derived from symmetric subgroups to be carried by string theory vertex operators in these compactified models, although an explicit vertex operator construction of IIB string and M theories on AdSxS remains elusive. Our symmetry mechanism parallels the construction of representations of the Monster group and affine algebras in terms of twisted conformal field theories, and may serve as a guide to the perturbative description of the IIB string on AdSxS.
