Strings in Singular Time - Dependent Backgrounds 1
We review the construction of time-dependent backgrounds with space-like singularities. We mainly consider exact CFT backgrounds. The algebraic and geometric aspects of these backgrounds are discussed. Physical issues, results and difficulties associated with such systems are reviewed. Finally, we present some new results: a two dimensional cosmology in the presence of an Abelian gauge field de...
متن کاملTime and space dependent backgrounds from nonsupersymmetric strings
We investigate maximally symmetric backgrounds in nonsupersymmetric string vacua with D-branes and O-planes localized in the compact space. We find a class of solutions with a perturbative string coupling constant in all regions of spacetime. Depending on the particular model, we find either a time evolution with a big-bang type singularity or a space dependent background with generically orbif...
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...
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...
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 ...
