SU(2) Reduction of Six-dimensional (1,0) Supergravity
H. Lu, C. N. Pope, E. Sezgin
We obtain a gauged supergravity theory in three dimensions with eight real supersymmetries by means of a Scherk-Schwarz reduction of pure N=(1,0) supergravity in six dimension on t…
The Radion Mode in Consistent Brane-World Reductions
James T. Liu, H. Lu, C. N. Pope
We construct consistent brane-world Kaluza-Klein reductions involving the radion mode that measures the separation of the domain-wall branes. In these new examples, we can obtain m…
Linearly-realised Worldsheet Supersymmetry in pp-wave Background
M. Cvetic, H. Lu, C. N. Pope +1
We study the linearly-realised worldsheet supersymmetries in the ``massive'' type II light-cone actions for pp-wave backgrounds. The pp-waves have have 16+N_sup Killing spinors, co…
Special Holonomy Spaces and M-theory
M. Cvetic, G. W. Gibbons, H. Lu +1
We review the construction of regular p-brane solutions of M-theory and string theory with less than maximal supersymmetry whose transverse spaces have metrics with special holonom…
Bianchi IX Self-dual Einstein Metrics and Singular G_2 Manifolds
M. Cvetic, G. W. Gibbons, H. Lu +1
We construct explicit cohomogeneity two metrics of G_2 holonomy, which are foliated by twistor spaces. The twistor spaces are S^2 bundles over four-dimensional Bianchi IX Einstein…
General Metrics of G_2 Holonomy and Contraction Limits
Z. W. Chong, M. Cvetic, G. W. Gibbons +3
We obtain first-order equations for G_2 holonomy of a wide class of metrics with S^3\times S^3 principal orbits and SU(2)\times SU(2) isometry, using a method recently introduced b…
Almost Special Holonomy in Type IIA&M Theory
M. Cvetic, G. W. Gibbons, H. Lu +1
We consider spaces M_7 and M_8 of G_2 holonomy and Spin(7) holonomy in seven and eight dimensions, with a U(1) isometry. For metrics where the length of the associated circle is ev…
M-theory PP-waves, Penrose Limits and Supernumerary Supersymmetries
M. Cvetic, H. Lu, C. N. Pope
We study supersymmetric pp-waves in M-theory, their dimensional reduction to D0-branes or pp-waves in type IIA, and their T-dualisation to solutions in the type IIB theory. The gen…
Penrose Limits, PP-Waves and Deformed M2-branes
M. Cvetic, H. Lu, C. N. Pope
Motivated by the recent discussions of the Penrose limit of AdS_5\times S^5, we examine a more general class of supersymmetric pp-wave solutions of the type IIB theory, with a larg…
