Null orbifolds in AdS, Time Dependence and Holography
Joan Simón
We study M/D-branes in a null-brane background. By taking a near horizon limit, one is left with cosmological models in the corresponding Poincaré patches. To deal with their usual…
Supersymmetric Kaluza-Klein reductions of M-waves and MKK-monopoles
José Figueroa-O'Farrill, Joan Simón
We investigate the Kaluza-Klein reductions to ten dimensions of the purely gravitational half-BPS M-theory backgrounds: the M-wave and the Kaluza-Klein monopole. We determine the m…
Supersymmetric Kaluza-Klein reductions of M2 and M5-branes
José Figueroa-O'Farrill, Joan Simón
We classify and construct all the smooth Kaluza-Klein reductions to ten dimensions of the M2- and M5-brane configurations which preserve some of the supersymmetry. In this way we o…
D0-branes in flux 5-brane backgrounds
Joan Simón
The existence of supersymmetric D0-branes at an arbitrary distance from a flux 5-brane is proven. The physical picture in type IIA is consistent with the Kaluza-Klein reduction ori…
