Dp Branes in PP-wave Background

arXiv:hep-th/0203231 · doi:10.1016/S0550-3213(02)00571-0

Abstract

Dirichlet p-branes in the background of pp waves are constructed using the massive Green-Schwarz worldsheet action for open strings. These branes are localized at the origin and only for preserve half the supersymmetries. The spectrum of the brane theory is analyzed and is found to be in agreement with the spectrum of the small fluctuations of the world-volume super Yang-Mills theory in this background. These branes are expected to correspond to objects that are nonperturbative in in the dual gauge theory.
