Abstract

Using the supergravity solution of N1N_1 D3-branes probing AN21A_{N_2-1} singularities we study the pp-wave limit of AdS5×S5/ZN2AdS_5\times S^5/Z_{N_2}. We show that there are two different pp-wave limits. One is the orbifold of the pp-wave limit of AdS5×S5AdS_5\times S^5. In this case there is no symmetry enhancement. The other case is the same as the pp-wave limit of AdS5×S5AdS_5\times S^5 and therefore we again see the maximal supersymmetry. We will also identify operators in the four dimensional N=2{\cal N}=2 SU(N1)N2SU(N_1)^{N_2} gauge theory which correspond to stringy excitations in the orbifolded pp-wave geometry. The existence of the maximal pp-wave geometry indicates that there is a subsector of the corresponding N=2{\cal N}=2 gauge theories which has enhanced N=4{\cal N}=4 supersymmetry. We also study the pp-wave limits of AdS7,4×S4,7/ZNAdS_{7,4}\times S^{4,7}/Z_{N}.
