Abstract

We work out boundary states for type IIA string theory on a plane wave background. By directly utilizing the channel duality, the induced conditions from the open string boundary conditions are imposed on the boundary states. The resulting boundary states correctly reproduce the partition functions of the open string theory for DpDp and DpDp̄ cases where Dp branes are half BPS brane if located at the origin of the plane wave background.
