De Sitter Space in Supergravity and M Theory

چکیده

Two ways in which de Sitter space can arise in supergravity theories are discussed. In the first, it arises as a solution of a conventional supergravity, in which case it necessarily has no Killing spinors. For example, de Sitter space can arise as a solution of N = 8 gauged supergravities in four or five dimensions. These lift to solutions of 11-dimensional supergravity or D = 10 IIB supergravity which are warped products of de Sitter space and non-compact spaces of negative curvature. In the second way, de Sitter space can arise as a supersymmetric solution of an un-conventional supergravity theory, which typically has some kinetic terms with the 'wrong' sign; such solutions are invariant under a de Sitter supergroup. Such solutions lift to supersymmetric solutions of unconventional supergravities in D = 10 or D = 11, which nonetheless arise as field theory limits of theories that can be obtained from M-theory by timelike T-dualities and related dualities. Brane solutions interpolate between these solutions and flat space and lead to a holographic duality between theories in de Sitter vacua and Euclidean conformal field theories. Previous results are reviewed and generalised, and discussion is included of Kaluza-Klein theory with non-compact internal spaces, brane and cosmological solutions, and holography on de Sitter spaces and product spaces.

Super algebra and Harmonic Oscillator in Anti de Sitter space

The harmonic oscillator in anti de Sitter space(AdS) is discussed. We consider the harmonic oscillator potential and then time independent Schrodinger equation in AdS space. Then we apply the supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics approach to solve our differential equation. In this paper we have solved Schrodinger equation for harmonic oscillator in AdS spacetime by supersymmetry approach. The shape...

Gauge/gravity correspondence in accelerating universe

We discuss time-dependent backgrounds of type IIB supergravity realizing gravitation duals of gauge theories formulated in de Sitter space-time as a tool of embedding de Sitter in a supergravity. We show that only the gravitational duals to non-conformal gauge theories are sensitive to a specific value of a Hubble parameter. We consider two nontrivial solutions of this type: a gravity dual to s...

We construct an eleven-dimensional superspace with superspace coordinates and formulate a finite M-theory using non-anticommutative geometry. The conjectured M-theory has the correct eleven-dimensional supergravity low energy limit. We consider the problem of finding a stable finite M-theory which has de Sitter space as a natural ground state, and the problem of eliminating possible future hori...
