An overview of branes in the plane wave background

چکیده
We give an overview of D-branes in the maximally supersymmetric plane wave background of IIB supergravity. We start by reviewing the results of the probe analysis. We then present the open string analysis and show how certain spacetime symmetries are restored using worldsheet symmetries. We discuss the construction of these branes as boundary states and summarize what is known about the dual gauge theory description. We present in this contribution an overview of D-branes in the maximally supersymmetric plane wave background of IIB supergravity (henceforth called “the plane wave”),

More on supersymmetric D-branes in type IIB plane wave background
We extend the study on D-branes in the type IIB plane wave background to less supersymmetric configurations. We show that many new supersymmetric D-branes can be found by turning on electric as well as magnetic background fluxes, or constantly boosting D-branes.
متن کاملTHE EFFECT OF PURE SHEAR ON THE REFLECTION OF PLANE WAVES AT THE BOUNDARY OF AN ELASTIC HALF-SPACE
This paper is concerned with the effect of pure shear on the reflection from a plane boundary of infinitesimal plane waves propagating in a half-space of incompressible isotropic elastic material. For a special class of constitutive laws it is shown that an incident plane harmonic wave propagating in the considered plane gives rise to a surface wave in addition to a reflected wave (with angle o...
متن کاملSuperstrings and D-branes in A Plane Wave
We carefully analyze the supersymmetry algebra of closed strings and open strings in a type IIB plane wave background. We use eight component chiral spinors, SO(8) MajoranaWeyl spinors, in light-cone gauge to provide a useful basis of string field theory calculation in the plane wave. We consider the two classes of D-branes, D±-branes, and give a worldsheet derivation of conserved supercurrents...
متن کاملMore D-branes in plane wave spacetime
We present classical solutions of Dp-branes (p ≥ 5) in plane wave spacetime with nonconstant R-R 3-form flux. We also show the existence of a system of D3-branes in this background. We further analyze the supersymmetric properties of these branes by solving type II Killing spinor equations explicitly. e-mail: [email protected] †b Present address (I.N.F.N.

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...
