Domain Walls and Solitons in Odd Dimensions
We discuss a consistency condition for the existence of smooth soliton solutions which interpolate between vacua in odd-dimensional theories. In particular we apply this analysis to a wide class of supergravities to rule out the existence of smooth domain walls interpolating between supersymmetric vacua. Normale Supérieure.
متن کاملEguchi-Hanson Solitons in Odd Dimensions
We present a new class of solutions in odd dimensions to Einstein’s equations containing either a positive or negative cosmological constant. These solutions resemble the even-dimensional Eguchi-Hanson(A)dS metrics, with the added feature of having Lorentzian signatures. They are asymptotic to (A)dSd+1/Zp. In the AdS case their energy is negative relative to that of pure AdS. We present perturb...
متن کاملDomain walls from ten dimensions
We write down the general conditions for N = 1 supersymmetric four– dimensional domain walls, deriving them from a ten–dimensional point of view using generalized complex geometry. In cases where the compactification allows for a truncation to a finite number of fields, we make contact with a four–dimensional effective description. In the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence, the equations can...
متن کاملEffective Lagrangians on Domain Walls and Other Solitons
Maintaining the preserved supersymmetry helps to find the effective Lagrangian on the BPS background in gauge theories with eight supercharges. As concrete examples, we take 1/2 BPS domain walls. The Lagrangian is given in terms of the superfields with manifest four preserved supercharges and is expanded in powers of the slow-movement parameter λ . The O(λ 0) gives the superfield form of the BP...
متن کاملAsymmetric solitons and domain walls supported by inhomogeneous defocusing nonlinearity.
We show that an inhomogeneous defocusing nonlinearity that grows toward the periphery in the positive and negative transverse directions at different rates can support strongly asymmetric fundamental and multipole bright solitons, which are stable in wide parameter regions. In the limiting case, when nonlinearity is uniform in one direction, solitons transform into stable domain walls (fronts),...
