Plane Wave Type II∗ String Backgrounds

چکیده
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 theory and vice-versa.

String Theory on Parallelizable PP-Waves
The most general parallelizable pp-wave backgrounds which are non-dilatonic solutions in the NS-NS sector of type IIA and IIB string theories are considered. We demonstrate that parallelizable pp-wave backgrounds are necessarily homogeneous plane-waves, and that a large class of homogeneous plane-waves are parallelizable, stating the necessary conditions. Such plane-waves can be classified acco...
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 کاملOn solvable models of type IIB superstring in NS-NS and R-R plane wave backgrounds
We consider type IIB string in the two plane-wave backgrounds which may be interpreted as special limits of the AdS3 × S supported by the NS-NS or R-R 3-form backgrounds. The NS-NS plane-wave string model is equivalent to a direct generalization of the NappiWitten model, with its spectrum being similar to that of strings in constant magnetic field. The R-R model can be solved in the light-cone ...
متن کاملTachyon Condensation and Non-BPS D-branes in a Ramond-Ramond Plane Wave Background
We consider string theory in maximally supersymmetric type IIB plane wave background with constant five form Ramond-Ramond flux (RR plane wave). It is argued that there exists a universal sector of string configurations independent of the null coordinate x such that the space-time action evaluated at such a configuration is same in the RR plane wave and flat background. By naturally assuming it...
متن کاملStrings 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...
