Aninda Sinha, Nemani V Suryanarayana
TL;DR
This paper investigates orientifold constructions of type IIB string theory in plane-wave backgrounds with RR flux, analyzing tadpole cancellation, spectra, and dualities in a Green-Schwarz formalism framework.
Contribution
It provides a systematic method to extract RR tadpoles in orientifolded plane-wave backgrounds and explores dual models with detailed spectrum analysis.
Findings
Consistent models require 32 D-branes for tadpole cancellation.
The paper describes how to compute RR tadpoles in the Green-Schwarz formalism.
It discusses the spectra and heterotic duals of the constructed models.
Abstract
We study orientifolds of type IIB string theory in the plane-wave background supported by null RR 3-form flux F^{(3)}. We describe how to extract the RR tadpoles in the Green-Schwarz formalism in a general setting. Two models with orientifold groups {1, \Omega} and {1,\Omega I_4}, which are T-dual to each other, are considered. Consistency of these backgrounds requires 32 D9 branes for the first model and 32 D5 branes for the second one. We study the spectra and comment on the heterotic duals of our models.
