چکیده

We solve the Killing spinor equations of N = 1 supergravity, with four supercharges, coupled to any number of vector and scalar multiplets in all cases. We find that backgrounds with N = 1 supersymmetry admit a null, integrable, Killing vector field. There are two classes of N = 2 backgrounds. The spacetime in the first class admits a parallel null vector field and so it is a pp-wave. The spacetime of the other class admits three Killing vector fields, and a vector field that commutes with the three Killing directions. These backgrounds are of cohomogeneity one with homogenous sections either R or AdS3 and have an interpretation as domain walls. The N = 3 backgrounds are locally maximally supersymmetric. There are N = 3 backgrounds which arise as discrete identifications of maximally supersymmetric ones. The maximally supersymmetric backgrounds are locally isometric to either R 3,1 or AdS4.

Maximally supersymmetric G-backgrounds of IIB supergravity

We classify the geometry of all supersymmetric IIB backgrounds which admit the maximal number of G-invariant Killing spinors. For compact stability subgroups G = G2, SU(3) and SU(2), the spacetime is locally isometric to a product Xn × Y10−n with n = 3, 4, 6, where Xn is a maximally supersymmetric solution of a n-dimensional supergravity theory and Y10−n is a Riemannian manifold with holonomy G...

New N = 1 supersymmetric AdS 5 backgrounds in type IIA supergravity

We present a family of N = 1 supersymmetric backgrounds in type-IIA supergravity and their lifts to eleven-dimensional supergravity. These are of the form AdS5×X and are characterised by an SU(2) structure. The internal space, X5, is obtained from the known Sasaki-Einstein manifolds, Y , via an application of non-Abelian T-duality.

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...

Supersymmetric D0-Branes in Curved Backgrounds

An action for supersymmetric D0-branes in curved backgrounds is obtained by dimensional reduction of N=1 ten-dimensional supergravity coupled to super Yang-Mills system to 0+1 dimensions. The resultant action exhibits the coset-space symmetry SO(9,9+n) SO(9)×SO(9+n) ×U(1) where n = N−1 is the dimension of the SU(N) gauge group.

Heterotic supersymmetric backgrounds with compact holonomy revisited

We simplify the classification of supersymmetric solutions with compact holonomy of the Killing spinor equations of heterotic supergravity using the field equations and the additional assumption that the 3-form flux is closed. We determine all the fractions of supersymmetry that the solutions preserve and find that there is a restriction on the number of supersymmetries which depends on the iso...
