I review aspects of string theory on plane wave backgrounds emphasising the connection to gauge theory given by the BMN correspondence. Topics covered include the Penrose limit and its role in deriving the BMN duality from AdS/CFT, light-cone string field theory in the maximally supersymmetric plane wave and extensions of the correspondence to less supersymmetric backgrounds.a Based on the author's PhD thesis,

In the recent publication [1] the spin vertex was introduced as a new approach for computing three-point functions in N = 4 SYM. In this note we consider the BMN limit of the spin vertex for scalar excitations and show that it reproduces the string vertex in the light-cone string field theory which describes the string interactions in the pp-wave background at the leading order of λ expansion. This is achieved by introducing a polynomial representation for the spin vertex. We derive the Neumann coefficients from the spin vertex at weak coupling and show they match with the Neumann coefficients from the string field theory.

These lectures give an introduction to the novel duality relating type IIB string theory in a maximally supersymmetric plane‐wave background to 𝒩 = 4, d = 4, U(N) super Yang‐Mills theory in a particular large N and large R‐charge limit due to Berenstein, Maldacena and Nastase. In the first part of these lectures the duality is derived from the AdS/CFT correspondence by taking a Penrose limit of the AdS5 × S5 geometry and studying the corresponding double‐scaling limit on the gauge theory side. The resulting free plane‐wave superstring is then quantized in light‐cone gauge. On the gauge theory side of the correspondence the composite super Yang‐Mills operators dual to string excitations are identified, and it is shown how the string spectrum can be mapped to the planar scaling dimensions of these operators. In the second part of these lectures we study the correspondence at the interacting respectively non‐planar level. On the gauge theory side it is demonstrated that the large N large R‐charge limit in question preserves contributions from Feynman graphs of all genera through the emergence of a new genus counting parameter – in agreement with the string genus expansion for non‐zero gs. Effective quantum mechanical tools to compute higher genus contributions to the scaling dimensions of composite operators are developed and explicitly applied in a genus one computation. We then turn to the interacting string theory side and give an elementary introduction into light‐cone superstring field theory in a plane‐wave background and point out how the genus one prediction from gauge theory can be reproduced. Finally, we summarize the present status of the plane‐wave string/gauge theory duality.
