Generalised Penrose Limits and PP-Waves
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we construct generalised Penrose limits for the solutions of massive type IIA supergravity. We consider the Freund-Rubin type solution and apply these massive Penrose limits and obtain supersymmetric pp-wave which is standard type IIA background. The results in this paper can be easily generalised for the cases of gauged supergravities.

M - theory PP - Waves , Penrose Limits and Supernumerary Supersymmetries
We study supersymmetric pp-waves in M-theory, their dimensional reduction to D0-branes or pp-waves in type IIA, and their T-dualisation to solutions in the type IIB theory. The general class of pp-waves that we consider encompass the Penrose limits of AdS p × S q, but includes also many other examples that can again lead to exactly-solvable massive strings, but which do not arise from Penrose l...

متن کاملPenrose Limits of Orbifolds and Orientifolds
We study the Penrose limit of various AdSp × Sq orbifolds. The limiting spaces are waves with parallel rays and singular wave fronts. In particular, we consider the orbifolds AdS3 × S3/Γ, AdS5 × S5/Γ and AdS4,7 × S7,4/Γ where Γ acts on the sphere and/or the AdS factor. In the pp-wave limit the wave fronts are the orbifolds C2/Γ, C4/Γ and R × C4/Γ, respectively. When desingularization is possibl...
متن کاملGauge theory description of compactified pp-waves
We find a new Penrose limit of AdS5 × S5 that gives the maximally symmetric pp-wave background of Type IIB string theory in a coordinate system that has a manifest space-like isometry. This induces a new pp-wave/gauge-theory duality which on the gauge theory side involves a novel scaling limit of N = 4 SYM theory. The new Penrose limit, when applied to AdS5×S/ZM , yields a pp-wave with a space-...
متن کاملThermal Amplitudes in DLCQ Superstrings on PP-Waves
We calculate the thermal partition function of DLCQ superstring on the maximally supersymmetric pp-wave background, which is realized as the Penrose limit of orbifolded AdS5 × S5 and known to be dual to the N = 2 “large” quiver gauge theory as shown by S. Mukhi, M. Rangamani and E. Verlinde, hep-th/0204147. Making use of the pathintegral technique, we derive the manifestly modular invariant exp...
