The gravitational dynamics of warped throats
Neil A. Butcher, Paul M. Saffin
We investigate the time evolution due to gravitational dynamics of a particular spacetime commonly used in brane-cosmology and string compactifications, namely the Klebanov-Strassl…
The evolution of conifolds
Neil A. Butcher, Paul M. Saffin
We simulate the gravitational dynamics of the conifold geometries (resolved and deformed) involved in the description of certain compact spacetimes. As the cycles of the conifold c…
Generalized Kaluza-Klein Black Holes with Squashed Horizons
Neil A. Butcher, Paul M. Saffin
This paper has been withdrawn by the authors, due to the solution already existing in the literature.
Singular manifolds, topology change and the dynamics of compactification
Neil A. Butcher, Paul M. Saffin
We investigate the dynamics of the geometric transitions associated to compactified spacetimes. By including the dynamics of gravity we are able to follow the evolution of collapsi…
