From Wave Geometry to Fake Supergravity
نویسنده
چکیده
The ‘Wave Geometry’ equation of the pre-WWII Hiroshima program is also the key equation of the current ‘fake supergravity’ program. I review the status of (fake) supersymmetric domain walls and (fake) pseudosupersymmetric cosmologies. An extension of the domain-wall/cosmology correspondence to a triple correspondence with instantons shows that ‘pseudosupersymmetry’ has another interpretation as Euclidean supersymmetry. ∗ Contribution to the proceedings of the 5th International Symposium on Quantum Theory and Symmetries (QTS5), Vallodolid, July 2007.

From Fake Supergravity to Superstars
The fake supergravity method is applied to 5-dimensional asymptotically AdS spacetimes containing gravity coupled to a real scalar and an abelian gauge field. The motivation is to obtain bulk solutions with R × S3 symmetry in order to explore the AdS/CFT correspondence when the boundary gauge theory is on R × S3. A fake supergravity action, invariant under local supersymmetry through linear ord...
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 کاملExtremal black holes, nilpotent orbits and the true fake superpotential
Dimensional reduction along time offers a powerful way to study stationary solutions of 4D symmetric supergravity models via group-theoretical methods. We apply this approach systematically to extremal, BPS and non-BPS, spherically symmetric black holes, and obtain their “fake superpotential” W . The latter provides first order equations for the radial problem, governs the mass and entropy form...
متن کاملPropagation of Gravitons in the Shock Wave Geometry
In this thesis, I study propagation of gravitons in the shock wave geometry in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence, with the goal to uncover some constraint on the supergravity action in the AdS space. In studying the shock wave geometry in an anti-deSitter (AdS) space, I find that the functional form of the shock wave metric does not receive a' correction, but the wave profile does. Then...
متن کاملAxion-Dilaton Domain Walls and Fake Supergravity
Dynamical systems methods are used to investigate domain-wall solutions of a two-parameter family of models in which gravity is coupled to an axion, and to a dilaton with an exponential potential of either sign. A complete global analysis is presented for (i) constant axion and (ii) flat walls, including a study of bifurcations and a new exact domain-wall solution with non-constant axion. We re...
