AdS pp-waves

We obtain the pp-waves of D=5 and D=4 gauged supergravities supported by $U(1)^3$ and $U(1)^4$ gauge field strengths respectively. We show that generically these solutions preserve 1/4 of the supersymmetry, but supernumerary supersymmetry can arise for appropriately constrained harmonic functions associated with the pp-waves. In particular it implies that the solutions are independent of the light-cone coordinate $x^+$. We also obtain the pp-waves in the Freedman-Schwarz model.

D=7 selfdual string in the 5-brane

Unlike the Schwarzschild black string in the Randall-Sundrum scenario which is known to have the geodesics reaching the AdS-horizon terminating there, the D=7 extremal BPS selfdual string of N=2 gauged supergravity potentially differs from this result. I give a complete proof that timelike radial trajectories of the selfdual string solution that escapes to r=\infty do not see a curvature singularity on the horizon at z=\infty.
