Abstract

An overview of string theory in the maximally supersymmetric plane‐wave background is given, and some supersymmetric D‐branes are discussed.

## 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, light‐cone string field theory in the maximally supersy

## Abstract This article is a brief introduction to different aspects of string theory on maximally supersymmetric plane waves in ten dimensions. The article touches on the following aspects: quantization of free strings on the plane wave background, the plane wave as a Penrose limit and it's relat

## Abstract We review recent progress in the study of non‐rational (boundary) conformal field theories and their applications to describe exact holographic backgrounds in superstring theory. We focus mainly on the example of the supersymmetric coset __SL__(2, ℝ)/__U__(1), corresponding to the two‐d
