## Abstract We study a class of exact supersymmetric solutions of type IIB Supergravity. They have an __SO__(4) SU(2) ร __U__(1) isometry and preserve generically 4 of the 32 supersymmetries of the theory. Asymptotically __AdS__~5~ ร __S__^5^ solutions in this class are dual to 1/8 BPS chiral opera

Abstract
We review the issue of chronology protection and show how string theory can solve it in the half BPS sector of AdS/CFT. According to the LLM prescription, half BPS excitations of AdS~5~ ร ๐ฎ^5^ geometries in type IIB string theory can be mapped into free fermion configurations. We show that unitarity of the theory describing these fermions is intimately related to the protection of the chronology in the dual geometries.
