On the pulsating strings in AdS 4 × CP 3

N ov 2 00 4 Pulsating strings in warped AdS 6 × S 4 geometry

In this paper we consider pulsating strings in warped AdS 6 × S 4 background, which is a vacuum solution of massive type IIA super-string. The case of rotating strings in this background was considered in hep-th/0402202 and it was found that the results significantly differs from those considered in AdS 5 ×S 5. Motivated by this results we study pulsating strings in the warped spherical part of...

Near Flat Space limit of strings on AdS 4 × CP 3

The non-linear nature of string theory on non-trivial backgrounds related to the AdS/CFT correspondence suggests to look for simplifications. Two such simplifications proved to be useful in studying string theory. These are the pp-wave limit which describes point-like strings and the so called “near flat space” limit which connects two different sectors of string theory – pp-waves and “giant ma...

We construct a family of closed string solutions with kinks in a subspace of AdS5 × S and study their properties. In certain limits these solutions become folded pulsating strings, although in general they are made of multiple pulsating rectangles. One unusual feature of these solutions is that their monodromy matrices are trivial, leading to vanishing quasi-momenta. Exact Bäcklund transformati...
