Anti-de Sitter-wave solutions of higher derivative theories.
We show that the recently found anti-de Sitter (AdS)-plane and AdS-spherical wave solutions of quadratic curvature gravity also solve the most general higher derivative theory in D dimensions. More generally, we show that the field equations of such theories reduce to an equation linear in the Ricci tensor for Kerr-Schild spacetimes having type-N Weyl and type-N traceless Ricci tensors.
متن کاملPenrose Limits and Maximal Supersymmetry
We show that the maximally supersymmetric pp-wave of IIB superstring and M-theories can be obtained as a Penrose limit of the supersymmetric AdS×S solutions. In addition we find that in a certain large tension limit, the geometry seen by a brane probe in an AdS×S background is either Minkowski space or a maximally supersymmetric pp-wave.
متن کاملD-Branes at angle in pp-wave Background
We show the existence of classical solutions of a system of D3-branes oriented at an arbitrary angle with respect to each other, in a six dimensional pp-wave background obtained from AdS3 ×S3 ×R4, with NS−NS and R−R 3-form field strength. These D-brane bound states are shown to preserve 1/16 of the supersymmetries. We also present more D-brane bound state solutions by applying T-duality symmetr...
متن کاملD-Brane Solutions in pp-wave Background
We present classical solutions for a D5 and NS5-branes in a pp-wave background. The worldvolume coordinates for these branes lie along a six dimensional pp-wave configuration obtained from AdS3 × S3 in a Penrose limit. One in addition has nontrivial R-R 3-form field strength as well as a dilaton background. Classical solutions for Dp-branes (p > 5), as well as their bound states, are then gener...

We consider the exact solutions of the supergravity theories in various dimensions in which the space-time has the form M d × S D−d where M d is an Einstein space admitting a conformal Killing vector and S D−d is a sphere of an appropriate dimension. We show that, if the cosmological constant of M d is negative and the conformal Killing vector is space-like, then such solutions will have a conf...
