## Abstract I review aspects of string theory on plane wave backgrounds emphasising the connection to gauge theory given by the BMN correspondence. Topics covered include the Penrose limit and its role in deriving the BMN duality from AdS/CFT, lightβcone string field theory in the maximally supersy

In this paper, electromagnetic plane wave scattering by a gap on a ground plane is analyzed. First, a rectangular trough is used as a gap model to obtain the rigorous representation of the scattering field based on a method by Kobayashi and Nomura. Then the simple formulae for the case when the aper
The behaviour of a ``test'' electromagnetic field in the background of an exact gravitational plane wave is investigated in the framework of Einstein's general relativity. We have expressed the general solution to the de Rham equations as a Fourier-like integral. In the general case we have reduced
