Abstract
We construct the covariant $\\kappa$-symmetric superstring action for type $IIB$ superstring on plane wave geometry supported by Ramond-Ramond background. The action is defined as a 2d sigma-model on the coset superspace. We fix the fermionic and bosonic light-cone gauges in the covariant Green-Schwarz superstring action and find the light-cone string Lagrangian and the Hamiltonian. The resulting light-cone gauge action is quadratic in both the bosonic and fermionic superstring 2d fields, and therefore, this model can be explicitly quantized. We also obtain a realization of the generators of the basic superalgebra in terms of the superstring 2d fields in the light-cone gauge.
