Vanishing Scalar Invariant Spacetimes in Supergravity
arXiv:hep-th/0703256 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/2007/05/032
Abstract
We show that the higher-dimensional vanishing scalar invariant (VSI) spacetimes with fluxes and dilaton are solutions of type IIB supergravity, and we argue that they are exact solutions in string theory. We also discuss the supersymmetry properties of VSI spacetimes.
