Generating Geodesic Flows and Supergravity Solutions

چکیده
We consider the geodesic motion on the symmetric moduli spaces that arise after timelike and spacelike reductions of supergravity theories. The geodesics correpond to timelike respectively spacelike p-brane solutions when they are lifted over a pdimensional flat space. In particular, we consider the problem of constructing the minimal generating solution: A geodesic with the minimal number of free parameters such that all other geodesics are generated through isometries. We give an intrinsic characterization of this solution in a wide class of orbits for various supergravities in different dimensions. We apply our method to three cases: (i) Einstein vacuum solutions, (ii) extreme and non-extreme D = 4 black holes in N = 8 supergravity and their relation to N = 2 STU black holes and (iii) Euclidean wormholes in D ≥ 3. In case (iii) we present an easy and general criterium for the existence of regular wormholes for a given scalar coset.

متن کاملENTROPY OF GEODESIC FLOWS ON SUBSPACES OF HECKE SURFACE WITH ARITHMETIC CODE
There are dierent ways to code the geodesic flows on surfaces with negative curvature. Such code spaces give a useful tool to verify the dynamical properties of geodesic flows. Here we consider special subspaces of geodesic flows on Hecke surface whose arithmetic codings varies on a set with innite alphabet. Then we will compare the topological complexity of them by computing their topological ...
متن کاملNon-Supersymmetric Membrane Flows from Fake Supergravity and Multi-Trace Deformations
We use fake supergravity as a solution generating technique to obtain a continuum of non-supersymmetric asymptotically AdS4 × S7 domain wall solutions of elevendimensional supergravity with non-trivial scalars in the SL(8,R)/SO(8) coset. These solutions are continuously connected to the supersymmetric domain walls describing a uniform sector of the Coulomb branch of the M2-brane theory. We also...
متن کاملInfra-red fixed points at the boundary
Gauged supergravities (in four and five dimensions) with eight supercharges and with vector supermultiplets have a unique ultra-violet (UV) fixed point on a given physical domain M of the space of the scalar fields. We show that in these models the infra-red (IR) fixed points are located on the boundary of M, where the space-time metric becomes singular. e-mail: [email protected] e-mai...
متن کاملSupersymmetric black rings and non-linear sigma models
In this paper we investigate the non-linear sigma model arising in the reduction of D = 5 supergravity to D = 3, and present the application of this sigma model to supersymmetric black ring solutions in five-dimensional minimal supergravity. With the ansatz of stationary solutions with R×U(1)×U(1) isometry, we obtain a two-dimensional Lagrangian corresponding to geodesic motion of a string-like...
