abstract

We investigate the Penrose limits of classical string and M-theory backgrounds. We prove that the number of (super)symmetries of a supergravity background never decreases in the limit. We classify all the possible Penrose limits of AdS x S spacetimes and of supergravity brane solutions. We also present the Penrose limits of various other solutions: intersecting branes, supersymmetric black holes and strings in diverse dimensions, and cosmological models. We explore the Penrose limit of an isometrically embedded spacetime and find a generalisation to spaces with more than one time. Finally, we show that the Penrose limit is a large tension limit for all branes including those with fields of Born--Infeld type.

Quasinormal Modes of pp-Wave Spacetimes and Zero Temperature Dissipation

gr-qc · 2026-04-15 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Scalar quasinormal modes on pp-wave spacetimes show zero-temperature dissipation for d >= 3 via an irregular singular point acting as absorber, with exact non-dissipative spectrum for d=2 and gapped modes proven by reduction to Bessel equation.

Black hole spectroscopy: from theory to experiment

gr-qc · 2025-05-29 · unverdicted · novelty 2.0

A review summarizing the state of the art in black hole quasinormal modes, ringdown waveform modeling, current LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observations, and prospects for LISA and next-generation detectors.

    A coordinate map from AdS3 to BTZ allows construction of circular strings, magnons, and plane waves whose SL(2,R) charges are related by a boost, dual to asymmetric local quenches in the thermal CFT.
