p-p' Branes in PP-wave Background

Abstract

We present several supergravity solutions corresponding to both Dp, as well as Dp-Dp' systems, in NS-NS and R-R PP-wave background originating from AdS_3 times S^3 times R^4. The Dp brane solutions, p=1,..,5 are fully localized, whereas Dp-Dp' are localized along common transverse directions. We also discuss the supersymmetry properties of these solutions and the worldsheet construction for the p-p' system.
