چکیده
We begin with the simplest possible introduction to supergravity. Then we discuss its spin 3/2 stress tensor; these results are new. Next, we discuss boundary conditions on fields and boundary actions for N = 1 supergravity. Finally, we discuss new boundary contributions to the mass and central charge of monopoles in N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory. All models are in 3 + 1 dimensions. YITP-SB-06-21

We propose and study a supersymmetric version of the Janus domain wall solution of type IIB supergravity. Janus is dual to N = 4 super Yang Mills theory with a coupling constant that jumps across an interface. While the interface in the Janus field theory completely breaks all supersymmetries, it was found earlier that some supersymmetry can be restored in the field theory at the cost of breaki...

Recent developments in string inspired models of inflation suggest that D-strings are formed at the end of inflation. Within the supergravity model of D-strings there are 2(n−1) chiral fermion zero modes for a D-string of winding n. Using the bounds on the relic vorton density, we show that D-strings with winding number n > 1 are more strongly constrained than cosmic strings arising in cosmolog...
