Abstract

We study the plane wave limit of AdS₅× S⁵/Z₂ which arises as the near horizon geometry of D3-branes at an orientifold 7-plane in type I' theory. We analyze string theory in the resulting plane wave background which contains open strings. We identify gauge invariant operators in the dual Sp(N) gauge theory with unoriented closed and open string states.
