Abstract
We consider the ensemble average of two dimensional symmetric product orbifold CFTs SymN(𝕋D) over the Narain moduli space. We argue for a bulk dual given by N copies of an abelian Chern-Simons theory coupled to topological gravity, endowed with a discrete gauge symmetry exchanging the N copies. As a check of this proposal, we calculate the ensemble average of various partition and correlation functions of the symmetric product orbifold theory and compare the resulting expressions to gauge theory quantities in the bulk. We comment on the ensemble average of the tensionless string partition function on AdS3 × S3 × 𝕋4 by considering the specific case of D = 4 with the addition of supersymmetry.
