Penrose limits and maximal supersymmetry
Matthias Blau, Jose Figueroa-O'Farrill, Christopher Hull +1
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…

A new maximally supersymmetric background of IIB superstring theory
Matthias Blau, José Figueroa-O'Farrill, Christopher Hull +1
We present a maximally supersymmetric IIB string background. The geometry is that of a conformally flat lorentzian symmetric space G/K with solvable G, with a homogeneous five-form…
