Super-Yang-Mills theory in the PP-wave limit

Gordon W. Semenoff
Abstract: 

The ADS/CFT correspondence asserts an exact duality between maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions and type IIB superstring theory on the background AdS5XS5. Recently, it has been shown that one can obtain interacting string theory on a PP-wave background by taking a certain limit of AdS5XS5. Some features of the corresponding limit of super-Yang-Mills theory will be discussed.
