Title: Holographic 6d co-dimension 2 defect solutions in M-theory
A<sc>bstract</sc> We consider the uplift of co-dimension two defect solutions of seven dimensional gauged supergravity to eleven dimensions, previously found by two of the authors. The uplifted solutions are expressed as Lin-Lunin-Maldacena solutions and an infinite family of regular solutions describing holographic defects is found using the electrostatic formulation of LLM solutions.  more » « less

    A<sc>bstract</sc> Finding string backgrounds with de Sitter spacetime, where all approximations and corrections are controlled, is an open problem. We revisit the search for de Sitter solutions in the classical regime for specific type IIB supergravity compactifications on group manifolds, an under-explored corner of the landscape that offers an interesting testing ground for swampland conjectures. While the supergravity de Sitter solutions we obtain numerically are ambiguous in terms of their classicality, we find an analytic scaling that makes four out of six compactification radii, as well as the overall volume, arbitrarily large. This potentially provides parametric control over corrections. If we could show that these solutions, or others to be found, are fully classical, they would constitute a counterexample to conjectures stating that asymptotic de Sitter solutions do not exist. We discuss this point in great detail.

    A<sc>bstract</sc> We study black holes in two and three dimensions that have spacelike curvature singularities behind horizons. The 2D solutions are obtained by dimensionally reducing certain 3D black holes, known as quantum BTZ solutions. Furthermore, we identify the corresponding dilaton potential and show how it can arise from a higher-dimensional theory. Finally, we show that the rotating BTZ black hole develops a singular inner horizon once quantum effects are properly accounted for, thereby solidifying strong cosmic censorship for all known cases.

    A<sc>bstract</sc> For decades intersecting D-branes and O-planes have been playing a very important role in string phenomenology in the context of particle physics model building and in the context of flux compactifications. The corresponding supergravity equations are hard to solve so generically solutions only exist in a so-called smeared limit where the delta function sources are replaced by constants. We are showing here that supergravity solutions for two perpendicularly intersecting localized sources in flat space do not exist for a generic diagonal metric Ansatz. We show this for two intersecting sources withp= 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 spatial dimensions that preserve 8 supercharges, and we allow for fully generic fluxes.

    A<sc>bstract</sc> We study Randall-Sundrum two brane setups with mismatched brane tensions. For the vacuum solutions, boundary conditions demand that the induced metric on each of the branes is either de Sitter, Anti-de Sitter, or Minkowski. For incompatible boundary conditions, the bulk metric is necessarily time-dependent. This introduces a new class of time-dependent solutions with the potential to address cosmological issues and provide alternatives to conventional inflationary (or contracting) scenarios. We take a first step in this paper toward such solutions. One important finding is that the resulting solutions can be very succinctly described in terms of an effective action involving only the induced metric on either one of the branes and the radion field. But the full geometry cannot necessarily be simply described with a single coordinate patch. We concentrate here on the time- dependent solutions but argue that supplemented with a brane stabilization mechanism one can potentially construct interesting cosmological models this way. This is true both with and without a brane stabilization mechanism.

    A<sc>bstract</sc> We introduce new classes of integrable models that exhibit a structure similar to that of flag vector spaces. We present their Hamiltonians,R-matrices and Bethe-ansatz solutions. These models have a new type of generalized graded algebra symmetry.
