A Geometric Construction of Solutions to 11D Supergravity
arXiv:1805.07506 · doi:10.1007/s00220-019-03322-w
Abstract
Necessary and sufficient conditions are provided for a class of warped product manifolds with non-vanishing flux to be supersymmetric solutions of 11D supergravity. Many noncompact, but complete solutions can be obtained in this manner, including the multi-membrane solution initially found by Duff and Stelle. In a different direction, an explicit 5-parameter moduli space of solutions to 11D supergravity is also constructed which can be viewed as nonsupersymmetric deformations of the Duff-Stelle solution.
