The evolution of conifolds
نویسندگان
چکیده
We simulate the gravitational dynamics of the conifold geometries (resolved and deformed) involved in the description of certain compact spacetimes. As the cycles of the conifold collapse towards a singular geometry we find that a horizon develops, shielding the external spacetime from the curvature singularity of the newly formed black hole. The structure of the black hole is examined for a range of initial conditions, and we find a candidate black-hole solution for the final state of the collapse.

Complex geometry of conifolds and 5-brane wrapped on 2-sphere
We investigate solutions of type II supergravity which have the product R × M6 structure with non-compact M6 factor and which preserve at least four supersymmetries. In particular, we consider various conifolds and the N = 1 supersymmetric “NS5-brane wrapped on 2-sphere” solution recently discussed in hepth/0008001. In all of these cases, we explicitly construct the complex structures, and the ...
متن کاملIntersecting D7-Branes, I5-Branes and Conifolds
A candidate supergravity solution of intersecting D7-branes with a fivedimensional intersecting domain (an I5-brane) is presented. This displays an enhanced Poincare symmetry and supersymmetry away from the brane cores. We also explore the possibility of a relation between the intersection region of D7-branes and conifolds through F-theory.
متن کامل3-Branes on Eguchi-Hanson 6D Instantons
We use the approach used by Eguchi-Hanson in constructing four-dimensional instanton metrics and construct a class of regular six-dimensional instantons which are nothing but S × S resolved conifolds. We then also obtain D3-brane solutions on these EHresolved conifolds.
متن کاملClosed string tachyons, flips and conifolds
Following the analysis of tachyons and orbifold flips described in hep-th/0412337, we study nonsupersymmetric analogs of the supersymmetric conifold singularity and show using their toric geometry description that they are nonsupersymmetric orbifolds of the latter. Using linear sigma models, we see that these are unstable to localized closed string tachyon condensation and exhibit flip transiti...
متن کاملResolved Conifolds in Supergravity Solutions
We construct generalized 11D supergravity solutions of fully localized intersecting D2/D4 brane systems. These solutions are obtained by embedding six-dimensional resolved Eguchi-Hanson conifolds 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 b...
