چکیده

It is of interest to study supergravity solutions preserving a nonminimal fraction of supersymmetries. A necessary condition for supersymmetry to be preserved is that the spacetime admits a Killing spinor and hence a null or timelike Killing vector. Spacetimes admitting a covariantly constant null vector (CCNV ), and hence a null Killing vector, belong to the Kundt class. We investigate the existence of additional isometries in the class of higher-dimensional CCNV Kundt metrics.

We consider the signature reversing transformation of the metric tensor g µν → −g µν induced by the chiral transformation of the curved space gamma matrices γ µ→ γγ µ in spacetimes with signature (S, T), which also induces a (−1) T spacetime orientation reversal. We conclude: (1) It is a symmetry only for chiral theories with S − T = 4k, with k integer. (2) Yang-Mills theories require dimension...
