Aspects of plane waves and Taub-NUT as exact string theory solutions

This thesis is a study of some aspects of string theory solutions that are exact in the inverse string tension ɑ', and thus are valid beyond the low-energy limit. I investigate D-brane interactions in the maximally supersymmetric plane wave solution of type IIb string theory, and study the fate...
