String and superstring theories; other extended objects (e.g., branes) in quantum field theory (81T30) String and superstring theories in gravitational theory (83E30)

Abstract: We argue that string interactions in a PP-wave spacetime are governed by an effective coupling $g_{eff}=g_s(mu{p}^{+}apm)f(mu{p}^{+}apm)$ where $f(mu{p}^{+}apm)$ is proportional to the light cone energy of the string states involved in the interaction. This simply follows from generalities of a Matrix String description of this background. $g_{eff}$ nicely interpolates between the expected result ($g_s$) for flat space (small $mu{p}^{+}apm$) and a recently conjectured expression from the perturbative gauge theory side (large $mu{p}^{+}apm$).
