Holographic renormalization and supersymmetry

PB Genolini, D Cassani, D Martelli, J Sparks - Journal of High Energy …, 2017 - Springer

The supersymmetric NUTs and bolts of holography

D Martelli, A Passias, J Sparks - Nuclear Physics B, 2013 - Elsevier
We show that a given conformal boundary can have a rich and intricate space of

For conformally Kähler Riemannian four-manifolds with a Killing field, we present a
framework to solve the field equations for generalised gravitational instantons …

[HTML][HTML] An action principle for the Einstein–Weyl equations

S Klemm, L Ravera - Journal of Geometry and Physics, 2020 - Elsevier
A longstanding open problem in mathematical physics has been that of finding an action
principle for the Einstein–Weyl (EW) equations. In this paper, we present for the first time …

non-vanishing cosmological constant, and for which the Maxwell field strength is neither self …

Einstein–Weyl spaces and near-horizon geometry

M Dunajski, J Gutowski, W Sabra - Classical and Quantum …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We show that a class of solutions of minimal supergravity in five dimensions is given by lifts
