Abstract:
We present two classes of brane solutions in pp-wave spacetime. The first class of branes with a rotation parameter are constructed in an exact string background with NS-NS and R-R flux. The spacetime supersymmetry is analyzed by solving the standard Killing spinor equations and is shown to preserve the same amount of supersymmetry as the case without the rotation. This class of branes do not admit regular horizon. The second class of brane solutions are constructed by applying a null Melvin twist to the brane solutions of flat spacetime supergravity. These solutions admit regular horizon. We also comment on some thermodynamic properties of this class of solutions.
