Strings on Orbifolded PP-waves

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-07 v2

Abstract

We show that the string spectrum in the pp-wave limit of AdS_5\times S^5/Z_M (orbifolded pp-wave) is reproduced from the N=2 quiver gauge theory by quantizing the Green-Schwarz string theory on the orbifolded pp-wave in light cone gauge. We find that the twisted boundary condition on the world-sheet is naturally interpreted from the viewpoint of the quiver gauge theory. The correction of order g_{YM}^2 to the gauge theory operators agrees with the result in its dual string theory. We also discuss strings on some other orbifolded pp-waves.
