Plane-wave limits and homogeneous M-theory backgrounds
In this thesis we study plane-wave limits and M-theory vacua. We consider several hereditary properties of the plane-wave limit but focus on that of homogeneity. We show that a sufficient condition for a plane-wave limit along a particular geodesic of any spacetime to be homogeneous is that the geod...
