Penrose limits and maximal supersymmetry

arXiv:hep-th/0201081 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/19/10/101

Abstract

We show that the maximally supersymmetric pp-waves of IIB superstring and M-theories can be obtained as a Penrose limit of the supersymmetric AdS x S solutions. In addition we find that in a certain large tension limit, the geometry seen by a brane probe in an AdS x S background is either Minkowski space or a maximally supersymmetric pp-wave.
