Strings in plane wave backgrounds
I review aspects of string theory on plane wave backgrounds emphasising the connection to gauge theory given by the BMN correspondence. Topics covered include the Penrose limit and its role in deriving the BMN duality from AdS/CFT, light-cone string field theory in the maximally supersymmetric plane wave and extensions of the correspondence to less supersymmetric backgrounds. Based on the autho...
متن کاملStrings in Plane Wave Backgrounds
The interplay between string and gauge theory has led to many new insights in recent years. The most prominent example is the AdS/CFT correspondence, a duality between string theory on Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spaces and conformal gauge theories defined on their boundary. The study of string theory on plane wave backgrounds, which are connected to AdS by the Penrose limit, opens up the possibility ...
متن کاملPlane Wave Type II∗ String Backgrounds
In this note we aim to study plane-wave limits of the solutions of type II superstring theories. We consider Freund-Rubin type dS5 ×H5 solutions of type IIB theory and obtain a new kind of plane-wave solutions, we refer them as de Sitter plane-waves or Dpp-waves. Considering Hull’s time-like T-duality we are able to map the Dpp wave solution to maximally supersymmetric Hpp-wave in IIB string th...
متن کاملThree Charge Supertubes in Type IIB Plane Wave Backgrounds
We deform the supersymmetric black ring of five dimensional supergravity coupled to N − 1 vector multiplets to obtain an asymptotically Gödel supersymmetric black ring. For the U(1)3 model we lift this solution to obtain a three charge D1-D5-P supertube which asymptotes to a 1/2 supersymmetric plane wave of Type IIB supergravity. Further, we also show how one may deform the asymptotically flat ...
متن کاملStrings in Ramond-Ramond backgrounds
We write the type IIB worldsheet action in classes of bosonic curved backgrounds threaded with Ramond-Ramond fluxes. The fixing of the kappa symmetry in the lightcone gauge and the use of the Bianchi identities of the supergravity theory lead to an expression of a relatively simple form, yet rich with new physical information about how fundamental strings react to the presence of RR fields. The...
