Aspects of spinorial geometry
U. Gran, J. Gutowski, G. Papadopoulos +1
We review some aspects of the spinorial geometry approach to the classification of supersymmetric solutions of supergravity theories. In particular, we explain how spinorial geomet…
Seven-branes and Supersymmetry
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Jelle Hartong, Tomas Ortin +1
We re-investigate the construction of half-supersymmetric 7-brane solutions of IIB supergravity. Our method is based on the requirement of having globally well-defined Killing spin…
Classification of supersymmetric backgrounds of string theory
U. Gran, J. Gutowski, G. Papadopoulos +1
We review the recent progress made towards the classification of supersymmetric solutions in ten and eleven dimensions with emphasis on those of IIB supergravity. In particular, th…
N=31, D=11
U. Gran, J. Gutowski, G. Papadopoulos +1
We show that eleven-dimensional supergravity backgrounds with thirty one supersymmetries, N=31, admit an additional Killing spinor and so they are locally isometric to maximally su…
N=31 is not IIB
U. Gran, J. Gutowski, G. Papadopoulos +1
We adapt the spinorial geometry method to investigate supergravity backgrounds with near maximal number of supersymmetries. We then apply the formalism to show that the IIB supergr…
Maximally supersymmetric G-backgrounds of IIB supergravity
U. Gran, J. Gutowski, G. Papadopoulos +1
We classify the geometry of all supersymmetric IIB backgrounds which admit the maximal number of -invariant Killing spinors. For compact stability subgroups and S…
