Decay of C/Z_n: exact supergravity solutions

Abstract

We present a simple method to derive the general exact solution describing monopole scalar radiation coupled to gravity in 2+1 dimensions. The solution confirms the conjecture of Adams, Polchinski, and Silverstein regarding the late time behavior of the decay of the C/Z_n orbifold in type II string theory.
