Necessary and sufficient conditions are provided for a class of warped product manifolds with non-vanishing flux to be supersymmetric solutions of 11D supergravity. Many non-compact, but complete solutions can be obtained in this manner, including the multi-membrane solution initially found by Duff and Stelle. In a different direction, an explicit 5-parameter moduli space of solutions to 11D supergravity is also constructed which can be viewed as non-supersymmetric deformations of the Duff–Stelle solution.more » « less

A one-parameter family of coupled flows depending on a parameter $$\kappa>0$$ is introduced which reduces when $$\kappa=1$$ to the coupled flow of a metric $$\omega$$ with a $(1,1)$-form $$\alpha$$ due recently to Y. Li, Y. Yuan, and Y. Zhang. It is shown in particular that, for $$\kappa\not=1$$, estimates for derivatives of all orders would follow from $C^0$ estimates for $$\omega$$ and $$\alpha$$. Together with the monotonicity of suitably adapted energy functionals, this can be applied to establish the convergence of the flow in some situations, including on Riemann surfaces. Very little is known as yet about the monotonicity and convergence of flows in presence of couplings, and conditions such as $$\kappa\not=1$$ seem new and may be useful in the future.more » « less

Let (M,g,\phi) be a solution to the Ricci flow coupled with the heat equation for a scalar field \phi. We show that a complete, \kappa-noncollapsed solution (M,g,\phi) to this coupled Ricci flow with a Type I singularity at time T<\infty will converge to a non-trivial Ricci soliton after parabolic rescaling, if the base point is Type I singular. A key ingredient is a version of Perelman pseudo-locality for the coupled Ricci flow.more » « less
