Branes in the plane wave background with gauge field condensates

TL;DR

This paper investigates supersymmetric branes in a plane wave background with magnetic field condensates, revealing that such condensates generally break some supersymmetry and linking these configurations to previously classified branes.

Contribution

It provides a detailed world-sheet analysis of supersymmetric branes with gauge field condensates in a plane wave background, establishing their relation to known brane classifications.

Findings

Boundary condensates break some supersymmetries in certain branes.

Maximally supersymmetric branes with condensates correspond to class II branes.

Condensates alter the supersymmetry properties compared to flat space.

Abstract

Supersymmetric branes in the plane wave background with additional constant magnetic fields are studied from the world-sheet point of view. It is found that in contradistinction to flat space, boundary condensates on some maximally supersymmetric branes necessarily break at least some supersymmetries. The maximally supersymmetric cases with condensates are shown to be in one to one correspondence with the previously classified class II branes.
