The isometry algebras of the maximally supersymmetric solutions of IIB supergravity are derived by the Inonu-Wigner contractions of the super-AdS_5xS^5 algebra. The super-AdS_5xS^5 algebra allows introducing two contraction parameters; the…

We study a new class of inhomogeneous pp-wave solutions with 8 unbroken supersymmetries in D=11 supergravity. The 9 dimensional transverse space is Euclidean and split into 3 and 6 dimensional subspaces. The solutions have non-constant…
We find a general class of pp-wave string solutions with NS-NS $H_3$ or R-R $F_3$ field strengths, which are analogous to solutions with non-constant $F_5$ recently considered by Maldacena and Maoz (hep-th/0207284). We show that: (i) all…
The lightlike supersymmetric solutions of N=2, D=4 gauged supergravity coupled to an arbitrary number of abelian vector multiplets are classified using spinorial geometry techniques. The solutions fall into two classes, depending on whether…

We derive two families of supergravity solutions describing D-branes in the maximally supersymmetric Hpp-wave background. The first family of solutions corresponds to quarter-BPS D-branes. These solutions are delocalised along certain…
We consider supersymmetric PP-wave limits for different N=1 orbifold geometries of the five sphere S^5 and the five dimensional Einstein manifold T^{1,1}. As there are several interesting ways to take the Penrose limits, the PP-wave…
In the semi-light cone gauge $g_{ab}=e^{2\phi}\delta_{ab}$, $\bar{\gamma}^+\theta=0$, we evaluate the $\phi$-dependent effective action for the pp-wave Green-Schwarz (GS) superstring in both harmonic and group coordinates. When we compute…

We classify (up to local isometry) the maximally supersymmetric solutions of the eleven- and ten-dimensional supergravity theories. We find that the AdS solutions, the Hpp-waves and the flat space solutions exhaust them.
In this paper we construct generalised Penrose limits for the solutions of massive type IIA supergravity. We consider a Freund-Rubin type solution and apply these {\it massive} Penrose limits and obtain supersymmetric pp-wave which is a…
We find a Penrose limit of AdS_5 x T^{1,1} which gives the pp-wave geometry identical to the one that appears in the Penrose limit of AdS_5 x S^5. This leads us to conjecture that there is a subsector of the corresponding N=1 gauge theory…
