Abstract

We study intersecting D-branes in a type IIB plane wave background using the Green-Schwarz worldsheet formulation. We consider all possible D_\ifmmode±\else\textpm\fi-branes intersecting at angles in the plane wave background and identify their residual supersymmetries. We find, in particular, that D_\ensuremath∓\ensuremath-D_\ifmmode±\else\textpm\fi brane intersections preserve no supersymmetry. We also present the explicit worldsheet expressions of conserved supercharges and their supersymmetry algebras.
