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 Limits and T-Duality
The Penrose limit is generalized to show that, any leading order solution of the low-energy field equations in any one of the five string theories has a plane wave solution as a limit. This limiting procedure takes into account all the massless fields that may arise and commutes with the T-duality so that any dual solution has again a plane wave limit. The scaling rules used in the limit are un...
متن کاملA Note on D–brane — Anti–D–brane Interactions in Plane Wave Backgrounds
We study aspects of the interaction between a D–brane and an anti-D–brane in the maximally supersymmetric plane wave background of type IIB superstring theory, which is equipped with a mass parameter μ. An early such study in flat spacetime (μ = 0) served to sharpen intuition about D–brane interactions, showing in particular the key role of the “stringy halo” that surrounds a D–brane. The halo ...
متن کاملOn T-duality for open strings in general abelian and nonabelian gauge field backgrounds
We discuss T-duality for open strings in general background fields both in the functional integral formulation as well as in the language of canonical transformations. The Dirichlet boundary condition in the dual theory has to be treated as a constraint on the functional integration. Furthermore, we give meaning to the notion of matrix valued string end point position in the presence of nonabel...
