Penrose limits of I-branes, twist-compactified D5-branes and spin chains

In this paper we consider the Penrose limit in the case of two gravity duals. One of them, consists of compactified I-branes (intersecting sets of D5-branes over $(1+1)$ dimensions). The second consists of D5-branes compactified on a circle. Both compactifications preserve SUSY. We find a match of the oscillators and masses of string modes on the resulting pp wave against a spin chain in a $(2+1)-$dimensional field theory in the first case, and a spin chain in a $(1+1)-$dimensional field theory in the second.

Invariant Solutions for the Einstein Field Equation

In this paper we provide a method capable of producing an infinite number of solutions for Einstein's equation on static spacetimes with perfect fluid as a matter field. All spacetimes of this type which are symmetric with respect to a given group of translations and whose spatial factor is conformally flat, are characterized. We use this method to give some exact solutions of the referred equation.
