The PP-Wave Limits of Orbifolded AdS_5x S^5
Abstract
Using the supergravity solution of D3-branes probing singularities we study the pp-wave limit of . We show that there are two different pp-wave limits. One is the orbifold of the pp-wave limit of . In this case there is no symmetry enhancement. The other case is the same as the pp-wave limit of and therefore we again see the maximal supersymmetry. We will also identify operators in the four dimensional 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 gauge theories which has enhanced supersymmetry. We also study the pp-wave limits of .
