(Twisted) Toroidal Compactification of pp-Waves
arXiv:hep-th/0203140 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.66.066002
Abstract
The maximally supersymmetric type IIB pp-wave is compactified on spatial circles, with and without an auxiliary rotational twist. All spatial circles of constant radius are identified. Without the twist, an S compactification can preserve 24, 20 or 16 supercharges. compactifications can preserve 20, 18 or 16 supercharges; compactifications can preserve 18 or 16 supercharges and higher compactifications preserve 16 supercharges. The worldsheet theory of this background is discussed. The T-dual and decompactified type IIA and M-theoretic solutions which preserve 24 supercharges are given. Some comments are made regarding the AdS parent and the CFT description.
