Abstract
Two dimensional ≤ (4,4) gauge theories flow to interacting superconformal field theories on their Higgs branch. We examine worldsheet instantons in these theories through the eyes of a D-brane construction. The effective instanton partition function is shown to reveal an emergent background AdS3 × S3 geometry. © SISSA 2006.
