Domain Wall World(s)
M. Cvetic
Gravitational properties of domain walls in fundamental theory and their implications for the trapping of gravity are reviewed. In particular, the difficulties to embed gravity tra…
Randall-Sundrum Brane Tensions
M. Cvetic, M. J. Duff, James T. Liu +3
We show that the singular sources in the energy-momentum tensor for the Randall-Sundrum brane world, viewed as a solution of type IIB supergravity, are composed of two elements. On…
Brane Resolution Through Transgression
M. Cvetic, H. Lu, C. N. Pope
Modifications to the singularity structure of D3-branes that result from turning on a flux for the R-R and NS-NS 3-forms (fractional D3-branes) provide important gravity duals of f…
Discrete Wilson Lines in N=1 D=4 Type IIB Orientifolds: A Systematic Exploration for $\IZ_6$ Orientifold
Mirjam Cvetic, Angel M. Uranga, Jing Wang
We develop techniques to construct general discrete Wilson lines in four-dimensional N=1 Type IIB orientifolds, their T-dual realization corresponds to branes positioned at the orb…
Brane-world Kaluza-Klein reductions and Branes on the Brane
M. Cvetic, H. Lu, C. N. Pope
We present a systematic study of a new type of consistent ``Brane-world Kaluza-Klein Reduction,'' which describe fully non-linear deformations of co-dimension one objects that aris…
Domain Walls with Localised Gravity and Domain-Wall/QFT Correspondence
M. Cvetic, H. Lu, C. N. Pope
We review general domain-wall solutions supported by a delta-function source, together with a single pure exponential scalar potential in supergravity. These scalar potentials aris…
Consistent Warped-Space Kaluza-Klein Reductions, Half-Maximal Gauged Supergravities and CP^n Constructions
M. Cvetic, H. Lu, C. N. Pope
We obtain new consistent Kaluza-Klein embeddings of the gauged supergravities with half of maximal supersymmetry in dimensions D=7, 6, 5 and 4. They take the form of warped embeddi…
Report of the Beyond the MSSM Subgroup for the Tevatron Run II SUSY/Higgs Workshop
S. Ambrosanio, H. Baer, A. Brignole +30
There are many low-energy models of supersymmetry breaking parameters which are motivated by theoretical and experimental considerations. Here, we discuss some of the lesser-known…
AdS in Warped Spacetimes
M. Cvetic, H. Lu, C. N. Pope +1
We obtain a large class of AdS spacetimes warped with certain internal spaces in eleven-dimensional and type IIA/IIB supergravities. The warp factors depend only on the internal co…
S^3 and S^4 Reductions of Type IIA Supergravity
M. Cvetic, H. Lu, C. N. Pope +2
We construct a consistent reduction of type IIA supergravity on S^3, leading to a maximal gauged supergravity in seven dimensions with the full set of massless SO(4) Yang-Mills fie…
D=4 N=1 Type IIB Orientifolds with Continuous Wilson Lines, Moving Branes, and their Field Theory Realization
Mirjam Cvetic, Paul Langacker
We investigate four-dimensional N=1 Type IIB orientifolds with continuous Wilson lines, and their T-dual realizations as orientifolds with moving branes. When continuous Wilson lin…
Consistent Sphere Reductions and Universality of the Coulomb Branch in the Domain-Wall/QFT Correspondence
M. Cvetic, H. Lu, C. N. Pope
We prove that any D-dimensional theory comprising gravity, an antisymmetric n-index field strength and a dilaton can be consistently reduced on S^n in a truncation in which just $n…
Consistent SO(6) Reduction Of Type IIB Supergravity on S^5
M. Cvetic, H. Lu, C. N. Pope +2
Type IIB supergravity can be consistently truncated to the metric and the self-dual 5-form. We obtain the complete non-linear Kaluza-Klein S^5 reduction Ansatz for this theory, giv…
Geometry of The Embedding of Supergravity Scalar Manifolds in D=11 and D=10
M. Cvetic, H. Lu, C. N. Pope
Several recent papers have made considerable progress in proving the existence of remarkable consistent Kaluza-Klein sphere reductions of D=10 and D=11 supergravities, to give gaug…
Consistent Kaluza-Klein Sphere Reductions
M. Cvetic, H. Lu, C. N. Pope
We study the circumstances under which a Kaluza-Klein reduction on an n-sphere, with a massless truncation that includes all the Yang-Mills fields of SO(n+1), can be consistent at…
Absorption by Extremal D3-branes
M. Cvetic, H. Lu, J. F. Vazquez-Poritz
The absorption in the extremal D3-brane background is studied for a class of massless fields whose linear perturbations leave the ten-dimensional background metric unperturbed, as…
Infra-red fixed points at the boundary
Klaus Behrndt, Mirjam Cvetic
Gauged supergravities (in four and five dimensions) with eight supercharges and with vector supermultiplets have a unique ultra-violet (UV) fixed point on a given physical domain \…
Localised Gravity in the Singular Domain Wall Background?
M. Cvetic, H. Lu, C. N. Pope
We study singular, supersymmetric domain-wall solutions supported by the massive breathing mode scalars of, for example, sphere reductions in M-theory or string theory. The space-t…
Consistency of Kaluza-Klein Sphere Reductions of Symmetric Potentials
M. Cvetic, H. Lu, C. N. Pope +1
In a recent paper, the complete (non-linear) Kaluza-Klein Ansatz for the consistent embedding of certain scalar plus gravity subsectors of gauged maximal supergravity in D=4, 5 and…
Anti-deSitter Vacua of Gauged Supergravities with 8 Supercharges
Klaus Behrndt, Mirjam Cvetic
We investigate supersymmetric extrema of Abelian gauged supergravity theories with non-trivial vector multiplets and 8 supercharges in four and five dimensions. The scalar fields o…
Domain Walls and Massive Gauged Supergravity Potentials
M. Cvetic, H. Lu, C. N. Pope
We point out that massive gauged supergravity potentials, for example those arising due to the massive breathing mode of sphere reductions in M-theory or string theory, allow for s…
