Curved Membrane Solutions in D=11 Supergravity

چکیده
We present a class of static membrane solutions, with non-flat worldvolume geometry, in the eleven dimensional supergravity with source terms. This class of solutions contains supersymmetric as well as a large class of non-supersymmetric configurations. We comment about near horizon limit and stability of these solutions and point out an interesting relation with certain two dimensional dilaton gravity system.

These notes are based on lectures given at the Clay School on Geometry and String Theory, Isaac Newton Institute, Cambridge, 25 March 19 April 2002. They attempt to provide an elementary and somewhat self contained discussion of the construction of supergravity solutions describing branes wrapping calibrated cycles, emphasising the geometrical aspects and focusing on D=11 supergravity.

متن کاملZero modes for the D=11 membrane and five-brane.
There exist extremal p-brane solutions of D=11 supergravity for p=2 and 5. In this paper we investigate the zero modes of the membrane and the fivebrane solutions as a first step toward understanding the full quantum theory of these objects. It is found that both solutions possess the correct number of normalizable zero modes dictated by supersymmetry. Typeset using REVTEX 1

We construct generalized 11D supergravity solutions of fully localized D2/D6 brane intersections. These solutions are obtained by embedding Taub-NUT and/or self-dual geometries lifted to M-theory. We reduce these solutions to ten dimensions, obtaining new D-brane systems in type IIA supergravity. We discuss the limits in which the dynamics of the D2 brane decouples from the bulk for these solut...

We show that four-dimensional N = 2 ungauged Einstein-Maxwell supergravity can be embedded on the Randall-Sundrum 3-brane, as a consistent Kaluza-Klein reduction of five-dimensional N = 4 gauged supergravity. In particular, this allows us to describe four-dimensional Reissner-Nordström black holes within the Randall-Sundrum scenario. Using earlier results on the embedding of five-dimensional N ...
