The Conformal Penrose Limit: Back to Square One
R. Gueven
We show that the conformal Penrose limit is an ordinary plane wave limit in a higher dimensional framework which resolves the spacetime singularity. The higher dimensional framewor…

The Conformal Penrose Limit and the Resolution of the pp-curvature Singularities
R. Gueven
We consider the exact solutions of the supergravity theories in various dimensions in which the space-time has the form M_{d} x S^{D-d} where M_{d} is an Einstein space admitting a…
