Compactifying M-Theory to Four Dimensions
arXiv:hep-th/0010282 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/2000/11/029
Abstract
We consider compactifications of -theory to four-dimensional Minkowski space on seven-dimensional non-compact manifolds. These compactifications include a warp factor which is non-constant due to the presence of sources coming from fivebranes wrapping two-dimensional submanifolds of the internal seven-dimensional space. We derive the expression for the field strengths and consider an explicit example of this general class of solutions.
