MEMBRANES AND FIVEBRANES WITH LOWER SUPERSYMMETRY AND THEIR AdS SUPERGRAVITY DUALS
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider superconformal field theories in three and six dimensions with eight supercharges which can be realized on the world-volume of M-theory branes sitting at orbifold singularities. We find that they should admit a N = 4 and N = 2 supergravity dual in AdS4 and AdS7, respectively. We discuss the characteristics of the corresponding gauged supergravities. † e-mail: Sergio.Ferrara, Alexandros.Kehagias, Herve.Partouche, [email protected] CERN-TH-98-79 March 1998

Hyper - Kähler Manifolds and Multiply Intersecting Branes
Generalized membrane solutions of D=11 supergravity, for which the transverse space is a toric hyper-Kähler manifold, are shown to have IIB duals representing the intersection of parallel 3-branes with 5-branes whose orientations are determined by their Sl(2; Z) charge vectors. These IIB solutions, which generically preserve 3/16 of the supersymmetry, can be further mapped to solutions of D=11 ...
متن کاملGains from diversification on convex combinations: A majorization and stochastic dominance approach
By incorporating both majorization theory and stochastic dominance theory, this paper presents a general theory and a unifying framework for determining the diversification preferences of risk-averse investors and conditions under which they would unanimously judge a particular asset to be superior. In particular, we develop a theory for comparing the preferences of different convex combination...
متن کاملImproved immunogenicity of tetanus toxoid by Brucella abortus S19 LPS adjuvant.
BACKGROUND Adjuvants are used to increase the immunogenicity of new generation vaccines, especially those based on recombinant proteins. Despite immunostimulatory properties, the use of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as an adjuvant has been hampered due to its toxicity and pyrogenicity. Brucella abortus LPS is less toxic and has no pyrogenic properties compared to LPS from other gram negati...
متن کاملSteady electrodiffusion in hydrogel-colloid composites: macroscale properties from microscale electrokinetics.
A rigorous microscale electrokinetic model for hydrogel-colloid composites is adopted to compute macroscale profiles of electrolyte concentration, electrostatic potential, and hydrostatic pressure across membranes that separate electrolytes with different concentrations. The membranes are uncharged polymeric hydrogels in which charged spherical colloidal particles are immobilized and randomly d...
متن کاملPerturbative Analysis of Dynamical Localisation
In this paper we extend previous results on convergent perturbative solutions of the Schrödinger equation of a class of periodically timedependent two-level systems. The situation treated here is particularly suited for the investigation of two-level systems exhibiting the phenomenon of (approximate) dynamical localisation. We also present a convergent perturbative expansion for the secular fre...
