Intersecting branes in pp-wave spacetime

arXiv:hep-th/0306186 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysb.2003.09.036 10.1016/j.nuclphysb.2006.05.013

Abstract

We derive intersecting brane solutions in pp-wave spacetime by solving the supergravity field equations explicitly. The general intersection rules are presented. We also generalize the construction to the non-extremal solutions. Both the extremal and non-extremal solutions presented here are asymptotic to BFHP plane waves. We find that these solutions do not have regular horizons.
