Matrix String Theory on pp-waves

Abstract

After a brief review on Matrix String Theory on flat backgrounds, we formulate matrix string models on different pp-wave backgrounds. This will be done both in the case of constant and variable RR background flux for certain exact string geometries. We exhibit the non--perturbative representation of string interaction and show how the eigenvalue tunneling drives the WKB expansion to give the usual perturbative string interaction also in supersymmetric pp-wave background cases.
