Description
I will start with a review of the plane-wave duality between the N=4 SYM and the IIB string theory on a pp-wave background and compare it with the AdS/CFT duality. Then I will discuss various interesting attempts to construct a precise correspondence relation between the two theories. It will be shown that the correspondence does hold for matrix elements of Hstring = Hsym-J. Finally we'll discuss the current status of the pp-wave correspondence and future directions.
