Classifying Supergravity Solutions
نویسنده
چکیده
We review the substantial progress that has been made in classifying supersymmetric solutions of supergravity theories using G-structures. We also review the construction of supersymmetric black rings that were discovered using the classification of D = 5 supergravity solutions.

Supergravity pp-wave solutions with 28 and 24 supercharges
We conduct an exhaustive search for solutions of IIA and IIB supergravity with augmented supersymmetry. We find a two-parameter family of IIB solutions preserving 28 supercharges, as well as several other IIA and IIB families of solutions with 24 supercharges. Given the simplicity of the pp-wave solution, the algorithm described here represents a systematic way of classifying all such solutions...
متن کاملClassification of supersymmetric backgrounds of string theory
We review the recent progress made towards the classification of supersymmetric solutions in ten and eleven dimensions with emphasis on those of IIB supergravity. In particular, the spinorial geometry method is outlined and adapted to nearly maximally supersymmetric backgrounds. We then demonstrate its effectiveness by classifying the maximally supersymmetric IIB G-backgrounds and by showing th...
متن کاملVertical Versus Diagonal Dimensional Reduction for p-branes
In addition to the double-dimensional reduction procedure that employs world-volume Killing symmetries of p-brane supergravity solutions and acts diagonally on a plot of p versus spacetime dimension D, there exists a second procedure of “vertical” reduction. This reduces the transverse-space dimension via an integral that superposes solutions to the underlying Laplace equation. We show that ver...
متن کاملSupersymmetric, Cold and Lukewarm Black Holes in Cosmological Einstein-maxwell Theory
In flat space, the extreme Reissner-Nordstrøm (RN) black hole is distinguished by its coldness (vanishing Hawking temperature) and its supersymmetry. We examine RN solutions to Einstein-Maxwell theory with a cosmological constant Λ, classifying the cold black holes and, for positive Λ, the " lukewarm " black holes at the same temperature as the de Sitter thermal background. For negative Λ, we c...
متن کاملThe Classification of Highly Supersymmetric Supergravity Solutions
The spinorial geometry method is an effective method for constructing systematic classifications of supersymmetric supergravity solutions. Recent work on analysing highly supersymmetric solutions in type IIB supergravity using this method is reviewed [1, 2]. It is shown that all supersymmetric solutions of IIB supergravity with more than 28 Killing spinors are locally maximally supersymmetric.
