Supermembranes in Curved Superspace and Near-horizon Geometries
نویسنده
چکیده
We give a description of supermembranes in nontrivial target-space geometries. A special class are the AdS4 ×S7 and AdS7 ×S4 spaces that have the maximal number of 32 supersymmetries. Lecture presented at the 22-nd Johns Hopkins Workshop, Novelties in String Theory, Göteborg, August 20-22, 1998.

Implementation of D3Q19 Lattice Boltzmann Method with a Curved Wall Boundary Condition for Simulation of Practical Flow Problems
In this paper, implementation of an extended form of a no-slip wall boundary condition is presented for the three-dimensional (3-D) lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for solving the incompressible fluid flows with complex geometries. The boundary condition is based on the off-lattice scheme with a polynomial interpolation which is used to reconstruct the curved or irregular wall boundary on the ne...
متن کاملUniqueness of near-horizon geometries of rotating extremal AdS4 black holes
We consider stationary extremal black hole solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations with a negative cosmological constant in four dimensions. We determine all non-static axisymmetric near-horizon geometries and all static near-horizon geometries for black holes of this kind. This allows us to deduce that the most general near-horizon geometry of an asymptotically globally AdS4 rotating extre...
متن کاملNear Horizon Superspace
The adSp+2 × S geometry of the near horizon branes is promoted to a supergeometry: the solution of the supergravity constraints for the vielbein, connection and form superfields are found. This supergeometry can be used for the construction of new superconformal theories. We also discuss the Green-Schwarz action for a type IIB string on adS5 × S5. a e-mail: [email protected]. b e-mai...
متن کاملSuperspace Geometry for Supermembrane Backgrounds
We construct part of the superspace vielbein and tensor gauge field in terms of the component fields of 11-dimensional on-shell supergravity. The result can be utilized to describe supermembranes and corresponding matrix models for Dirichlet particles in nontrivial supergravity backgrounds to second order in anticommuting coordinates. We exhibit the κ-invariance of the corresponding supermembra...
متن کاملAspects of Superembeddings
Some aspects of the geometry of superembeddings and its application to supersymmetric extended objects are discussed. In particular, the embeddings of (3|16) and (6|16) dimensional superspaces into (11|32) dimensional superspace, corresponding to supermembranes and super-fivebranes in eleven dimensions, are treated in some detail.
