Gauged N=4 Supergravity through Compactification and BPS Monopoles
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown that N=4 gauged supergravity in four dimensions is obtained by compactifying N=1 supergravity in ten dimensions on the group manifold S × S. This could be further related to supergravity in eleven dimensions. Analysis of supersymmetry conditions of N=4 gauged supergravity in four dimensions reveals solutions which preserve 1/4 of the supersymmetries and are characterized by a BPS-monopole-type gauge field. These solutions are lifted to solutions of the ten and eleven dimensional theories. Plenary talk given at the PASCOS-98 meeting at Northeastern University, Boston, March 21-29, 1998

Non-Abelian BPS Monopoles in N=4 Gauged Supergravity
We study static, spherically symmetric, and purely magnetic solutions of SU(2) × SU(2) gauge supergravity in four dimensions. A systematic analysis of the supersymmetry conditions reveals solutions which preserve 1/8 of the supersymmetries and are characterized by a BPS-monopole-type gauge field and a globally hyperbolic, everywhere regular geometry. These present the first known example of non...

متن کاملThe Tale of Gravitational Sphaleron
Type I string theory can be dimensionally reduced on group manifolds. The compactification on S × S leads to the N=4 gauged SU(2)×SU(2) supergravity in four dimensions, which admits the BPS monopole type nonAbelian vacuum. The reduction on S × AdS3 gives the Euclidean N=4 gauged SU(2)×SU(1,1) supergravity admitting a globally regular supersymmetric non-Abelian background. The latter can be anal...
متن کاملNon-Extreme Black Holes of Five Dimensional N=2 AdS Supergravity
We derive and analyse the full set of equations of motion for non-extreme static black holes (including examples with the spatial curvatures k = −1 and k = 0) in D=5 N=2 gauged supergravity by employing the techniques of “very special geometry”. These solutions turn out to differ from those in the ungauged supergravity only in the non-extremality function, which has an additional term (proporti...
متن کاملBps Black Holes in Gauged N=4, D=4 Supergravity Typeset Using Revt E X 2
We find solutions of the bosonic sector of gauged N=4, D=4 SU(2) × SU(2) supergravity, which represent dilaton black holes with toroidal or spherical event horizons. The axion is consistently truncated, and the gauge group is broken to U(1) × U(1). The spherical black holes carry two electric and two magnetic abelian charges, whereas the toroidal holes have vanishing magnetic charges. The space...
