PP-waves and logarithmic conformal field theories
We provide a world-sheet interpretation to the plane wave limit of a large class of exact supergravity backgrounds in terms of logarithmic conformal field theories. As an illustrative example, we consider the two-dimensional conformal field theory of the coset model SU(2)N/U(1) times a free time-like boson U(1)−N , which admits a space-time interpretation as a three-dimensional plane wave solut...
متن کاملNon - Abelian pp - waves in D = 4 supergravity theories
The non-Abelian plane waves, first found in flat spacetime by Coleman and subsequently generalized to give pp-waves in Einstein-Yang-Mills theory, are shown to be 12 supersymmetric solutions of a wide variety of N = 1 supergravity theories coupled to scalar and vector multiplets, including the theory of SU(2) Yang-Mills coupled to an axion σ and dilaton φ recently obtained as the reduction to f...
متن کاملpp - waves
We obtain the pp-waves of D = 5 and D = 4 gauged supergravities supported by U (1) 3 and U (1) 4 gauged field strengths respectively. We show that generically these solutions preserve 1/4 of the supersymmetry, but supernumerary supersymmetry can arise for appropriately constrained harmonic functions associated with the pp-waves. In particular it implies that the solutions are independent of the...
متن کاملPp-waves from Bps Supergravity Monopoles
We discuss the Penrose limit of the Chamseddine-Volkov BPS self-gravitating monopole in four dimensional N = 4 supergravity theory with non-abelian gauge multiplets. We analyze the properties of the resulting supersymmetric pp-wave solutions when various Penrose limits are considered. Apart from the usual rescaling of coordinates and fields we find that a rescaling of the gauge coupling constan...
متن کاملEinstein - Maxwell pp - waves
A large family of noncommutative Einstein-Maxwell null pp -waves to order one in the noncommutativity parameters is constructed. They are solutions to the Einstein and field equations for general relativity coupled to a Seiberg-Witten electromagnetic field. Noncommutativity enters the spacetime metric through a conformal factor and is responsible for dilating/contracting the separation between ...
