New Supersymmetric Solutions in N=2 Matter Coupled AdS_3 Supergravities
We construct new 1/2 supersymmetric solutions in D=3, N=2, matter coupled,
U(1) gauged supergravities and study some of their properties. We do this by
employing a quite general supersymmetry breaking condition, from which we also
redrive some of the already known solutions. Among the new solutions, we have
an explicit non-topological soliton for the non-compact sigma model, a locally
flat solution for the compact sigma model and a string-like solution for both
types of sigma models. The last one is smooth for the compact scalar manifold.Comment: 1+21 pages, 2 figures, LaTeX2e, JHEP style; v2: added one reference +

AdS pp-waves
We obtain the pp-waves of D=5 and D=4 gauged supergravities supported by
and 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 . We also obtain
the pp-waves in the Freedman-Schwarz model.Comment: Latex, 19 pages, minor changes, to appear in JHE
Supergravity Duals to the Noncommutative N=4 SYM theory in the Infinite Momentum Frame
In this work the construction of supergravity duals to the noncommutative
SYM theory in the infinite momentum frame but with constant
momentum density is attempted. In the absence of the content of
noncommutativity, it has been known for some time that the previous
correspondence should be replaced by the
(with denoting the generalized Kaigorodov spacetime) correspondence
with the pp-wave propagating on the BPS brane worldvolume. Interestingly
enough, putting together the two contents, i.e., the introduction of
noncommutativity and at the same time that of the pp-wave along the brane
worldvolume, leads to quite nontrivial consequences such as the emergence of
``time-space'' noncommutativity in addition to the ``space-space''
noncommutativity in the manifold on which the dual gauge theory is defined.
Taking the gravity decoupling limit, it has been realized that for small ,
the solutions all reduce to geometry confirming our
expectation that the IR dynamics of the dual gauge theory should be unaffected
by the noncommutativity while as , the solutions start to deviate
significantly from limit indicating that the UV dynamics of
the dual gauge theory would be heavily distorted by the effect of
noncommutativity.Comment: 21 pages, Latex, One expression changed, a reference added, to appear
