We classify the supersymmetric solutions of ungauged N = 1 d = 5 SUGRA coupled to vector multiplets and hypermultiplets. All the solutions can be seen as deformations of solutions with frozen hyperscalars. We show explicitly how the 5-dimensional Reissner-Nordström black hole is deformed when hyperscalars are living on SO(4, 1)/SO(4) are turned on, reducing its supersymmetry from 1/2 to 1/8. We also describe in the timelike and null cases the solutions that have one extra isometry and can be reduced to N = 2, d = 4 solutions. Our formulae allows the uplifting of certain N = 2, d = 4 black holes to N = 1, d = 5 black holes on KK monopoles or to pp-waves propagating along black strings.
We find a complete characterization of all the supersymmetric solutions of non-Abelian gauged N = 1, d = 5 supergravity coupled to vector multiplets and hypermultiplets: the generic forms of the metrics as functions of the scalars and vector fields plus the equations that all these must satisfy. These equations are now a complicated non-linear system and there it seems impossible to produce an algorithm to construct systematically all supersymmetric solutions.
With the goal of giving evidence for the theoretical consistency of the Hořava Theory, we perform a Hamiltonian analysis on a classical model suitable for analyzing its effective dynamics at large distances. The model is the lowest-order truncation of the Hořava Theory with the detailed-balance condition. We consider the pure gravitational theory without matter sources. The model has the same potential term of general relativity, but the kinetic term is modified by the inclusion of an arbitrary coupling constant λ. Since this constant breaks the general covariance under space-time diffeomorphisms, it is believed that arbitrary values of λ deviate the model from general relativity. We show that this model is not a deviation at all, instead it is completely equivalent to general relativity in a particular partial gauge fixing for it. In doing this, we clarify the role of a second-class constraint of the model.
We show that requiring unbroken supersymmetry everywhere in black-hole-type solutions of N = 2, d = 4 supergravity coupled to vector supermultiplets ensures in most cases absence of naked singularities. We formulate three specific conditions which we argue are equivalent to the requirement of global supersymmetry. These three conditions can be related to the absence of sources for NUT charge, angular momentum, scalar hair and negative energy, although the solutions can still have globally defined angular momentum and non-trivial scalar fields, as we show in an explicit example. Furthermore, only the solutions satisfying these requirements seem to have a microscopic interpretation in String Theory since only they have supersymmetric sources. These conditions exclude, for instance, singular solutions such as the Kerr-Newman with M = |q|, which fails to be everywhere supersymmetric.We also present a re-derivation of several results concerning attractors in N = 2, d = 4 theories based on the explicit knowledge of the most general solutions in the timelike class.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
