Abstract: The BPS spectrum of string theory on AdS3imesmS3imesmS3imesmS1 is determined using a world-sheet description in terms of WZW models. It is found that the theory only has BPS states with j+=j where jpm refer to the spins of the mathfraksu(2) algebras of the large calN=4 superconformal algebra. We then re-examine the BPS spectrum of the corresponding supergravity and find that, in contradistinction to previous claims in the literature, also in supergravity only the states with j+=j are BPS. This resolves a number of long-standing puzzles regarding the BPS spectrum of string theory and supergravity in this background.
