We consider type IIB string in the two plane-wave backgrounds which may be interpreted as special limits of the AdS_3 x S^3 metric supported by either the NS-NS or R-R 3-form field. The NS-NS plane-wave string model is equivalent to a direct generalization of the Nappi-Witten model, with its spectrum being similar to that of strings in constant magnetic field. The R-R model can be solved in the light-cone gauge, where the Green-Schwarz action describes 4 massive and 4 massless copies of free bosons and fermions. We find the spectra of the two string models and study the asymptotic density of states. We also discuss a more general class of exactly solvable plane-wave models with reduced supersymmetry which is obtained by adding twists in two spatial 2-planes.

  1. $T\bar{T}$ deformations as TsT transformations

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    T\bar{T} deformations of string worldsheet theories are equivalent to TsT transformations in the T-dual static-gauge frame, with the T\bar{T} CDD factor realized as a Drinfel'd-Reshetikhin twist of the S-matrix.
