Singularity Resolution by M-Theory Fivebranes - Calibrated Geometry, AdS Solutions and Special Holonomy Metrics
Oisin Mac Conamhna
1:30pm|Bloomberg Hall Physics Library
I will discuss the supergravity description of various configurations of supersymmetric M-fivebranes wrapped on calibrated cycles of special holonomy manifolds. For known examples of Anti-de Sitter near-horizon limit solutions, I will construct a...
