A bstract In the context of holography, we analyse aspects of supersymmetric geometries
based on two-dimensional orbifolds known as spindles. By analysing spin c spinors on a …

We investigate the embedding of brane inflation into stable compactifications of string
theory. At first sight a warped compactification geometry seems to produce a naturally flat …

We consider all 1/2 BPS excitations of AdS× S configurations in both type-IIB string theory
and M-theory. In the dual field theories these excitations are described by free fermions …

We find the gravity dual of a marginal deformation of Script N= 4 super Yang Mills, and
discuss some of its properties. This deformation is intimately connected with an SL (2, Bbb …

We present a countably infinite number of new explicit co-homogeneity one Sasaki-Einstein
metrics on S^2*S^3 of both quasi-regular and irregular type. These give rise to new …

A bstract We construct supersymmetric AdS 5× Σ solutions of D= 7 gauged supergravity,
where Σ is a two-dimensional orbifold known as a spindle. These uplift on S 4 to solutions of …

We study a variational problem whose critical point determines the Reeb vector field for a
Sasaki–Einstein manifold. This extends our previous work on Sasakian geometry by lifting …

Abstract Recently Lunin and Maldacena used an SL (3, Bbb R) transformation of the AdS 5×
S 5 background to generate a supergravity solution dual to a so-called β-deformation of …

We review the remarkable progress that has been made the last 15 years towards the
classification of supersymmetric solutions with emphasis on the description of the bilinears …

We show that supersymmetric supergravity solutions with an R-symmetry Killing vector are
equipped with a set of equivariantly closed forms. Various physical observables may be …
