We construct IIA GS superstring action on the ten-dimensional pp-wave background, which arises as the compactification of eleven-dimensional pp-wave geometry along the isometry direction. The background geometry has 24 Killing spinors and…
We review peculiar features of type IIA string theory compactified on AdS(4) x CP(3) superspace, in particular, the structure of the Green-Schwarz action, issues with fixing its kappa-symmetry, classical integrability and the string…
We derive the complete covariant action for the type IIA superstring in a simple D=10 background which represents a 7-brane with a magnetic Ramond-Ramond vector field (and is U-dual to the Kaluza-Klein Melvin solution). This curved…
We consider warped $\mathrm{AdS}_2\times \mathcal M_4$ backgrounds within $F(4)$ gauged supergravity in six dimensions. In particular, we are able to find supersymmetric solutions of the aforementioned type characterized by…
We describe the type IIB supergravity background on AdS_{5} X S_{5} using the potentials of AdS_{5|4} X S_{5} and we use the supersolvable algebra associated to AdS_{5|4} to compute the k gauge fixed type IIB string action.
It is shown that a supersymmetric and $\kappa$-symmetric D3-brane action on $AdS_5 \times S^5$ is mapped into itself by a duality transformaion, thereby verifying the $SL(2,Z)$ invariance of the D3-brane action in the $AdS_5 \times S^5$…
We reinvestigate the kappa-symmetry-fixed Green-Schwarz action in the AdS_5 x S^5 background in a version of the light-cone gauge. In the generalized light-cone gauge, the action has been written in the phase space variables. We convert it…
We investigate the type IIA AdS(3) x S(3) x M(4) superstring with M(4)=S(3) x S(1) or M(4)=T(4). String theory in this background is interesting because of AdS3/CFT2 and its newly discovered integrable structures. We derive the kappa…
