We find a new Penrose limit of AdS_5*S^5 that gives the maximally symmetric pp-wave background of type IIB string theory in a coordinate system that has a manifest space-like isometry. This induces a new pp-wave/gauge-theory duality which…

We discuss a Penrose limit of an elliptic brane configuration with $N_1$ NS5 and $N_2$ D4 branes. This background is T-dual to $N_1$ D3 branes at a fixed point of a $\mathbf{C}^3/\mathbf{Z}_{N_2}$ singularity and the T-duality survives the…

We consider a Penrose limit of AdS_4 x Q^{1,1,1} that provides the pp-wave geometry equal to the one in the Penrose limit of AdS_4 x S^7. We expect that there exists a subsector of three dimensional N=2 dual gauge theory which has enhanced…

We construct a Penrose limit of AdS_4 x M^{1,1,1} where M^{1,1,1}= SU(3) x SU(2) x U(1)/(SU(2) x U(1) x U(1)) that provides the pp-wave geometry equal to the one in the Penrose limit of AdS_4 x S^7. There exists a subsector of three…

We study the Penrose limit of ODp theory. There are two different PP-wave limits of the theory. One of them is a ten dimensional PP-wave and the other a four dimensional one. We observe the later one leads to an exactly solvable background…

We study supersymmetric pp-waves in M-theory, their dimensional reduction to D0-branes or pp-waves in type IIA, and their T-dualisation to solutions in the type IIB theory. The general class of pp-waves that we consider encompass the…

We study the BMN correspondence between certain Penrose limits of type IIB superstrings on pp-wave orbifolds with $ADE$ geometries, and the set of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories constructed as quiver gauge…

We investigate Penrose limits of two classes of non-local theories, little string theories and non-commutative gauge theories. Penrose limits of the near-horizon geometry of NS5-branes help to shed some light on the high energy spectrum of…

We study the duality between IIB string theory on a pp-wave background, arising as a Penrose limit of the AdS_3 times S^3 times M, where M is T^4 (or K3), and the 2D CFT which is given by the N=(4,4) orbifold (M)^N/S_N, resolved by 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…

Based on the observation that $AdS_5\times S^5/Z_k$ orbifolds have a maximal supersymmetric PP-wave limit, the description of strings in PP-waves in terms of ${\cal N}=2$ quiver gauge theories is presented. We consider two different, small…

We review the Penrose limit of the Type IIB dual of softly broken N=1 SYM in four dimensions obtained as a deformation of the Maldacena-Nunez background. We extract the string spectrum on the resulting pp-wave background and discuss some…

We consider M-theory on AdS_4 x V_{5,2} where V_{5,2}= SO(5)/SO(3) is a Stiefel manifold. We construct a Penrose limit of AdS_4 x V_{5,2} that provides the pp-wave geometry. There exists a subsector of three dimensional N=2 dual gauge…

We extend the proposal of Berenstein, Maldacena and Nastase to Type IIB superstring propagating on pp-wave over ${\bf R}^4/{\bf Z}_k$ orbifold. We show that first-quantized free string theory is described correctly by the large $N$, fixed…

A certain conformally invariant N=1 supersymmetric SU(n) gauge theory has a description as an infra-red fixed point obtained by deforming the N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory by giving a mass to one of its N=1 chiral multiplets. We…

We study the pp-wave limits of various elliptic models with orientifold planes and D7-branes, as well as the pp-wave limit of an orientifold of adS_5 x T^{11}. Many of the limits contain both open and closed strings. We also present pp-wave…

The metric of a spacetime with a parallel plane (pp)-wave can be obtained in a certain limit of the space AdS^5xS^5. According to the AdS/CFT correspondence, the holographic dual of superstring theory on that background should be the…

We argue that the gauge theory dual to the Type IIB string theory in ten-dimensional pp-wave background can be thought to `live' on an {\it Euclidean} subspace spanning four of the eight transverse coordinates. We then show that light-cone…

We study the Penrose limit of the (p,q) fivebranes supergravity background. We consider the different phases of the worldvolume field theory and their weakly coupled descriptions. In the Penrose limit we get a solvable string theory and…

We investigate the issues of holography and string interactions in the duality between SYM and the pp wave background. We argue that the Penrose diagram of the maximally supersymmetric pp-wave has a one dimensional boundary. This fact…
