Correspondence Principle in a PP-wave Background

TL;DR

This paper explores the relationship between string states and black holes in a pp-wave background, revealing significant differences from the flat spacetime case, and discusses the implications for the correspondence principle.

Contribution

It introduces a novel analysis of the correspondence principle in a pp-wave background, highlighting key differences from flat spacetime scenarios.

Findings

The correspondence point differs notably in a pp-wave background.

The string-black hole relationship is altered by the background curvature.

Implications for understanding quantum gravity in curved spacetimes.

Abstract

We discuss the correspondence point between a string state and a black hole, in a pp-wave background, and find that the answer is considerably different from that in a flat spacetime background.
