D-branes and BCFT in Hpp-wave backgrounds

In this paper we study two classes of symmetric D-branes in the Nappi-Witten gravitational wave, namely D2- and S1-branes. We solve the sewing constraints and determine the bulk-boundary couplings and the boundary three-point couplings. For the D2-brane our solution gives the first explicit results for the structure constants of the twisted symmetric branes in a WZW model. We also compute the boundary four-point functions, providing examples of open string four-point amplitudes in a curved background. We finally discuss the annulus amplitudes, the relation with branes in AdS3 and in S3 and the analogy between the open string couplings in the H4 model and the couplings for magnetized and intersecting branes.
