Coset space dimensional reduction of gauge theories

D Kapetanakis, G Zoupanos - Physics reports, 1992 - Elsevier
We review the attempts to construct unified theories defined in higher dimensions which are
dimensionally reduced over coset spaces. We employ the coset space dimensional …

Higher order gravity theories and their black hole solutions

C Charmousis - Physics of Black Holes: A Guided Tour, 2009 - Springer
abstract In this chapter, we will discuss a particular higher order gravity theory, Lovelock
theory, that generalises in higher dimensions than 4, general relativity. After briefly …

1/3 BPS loops and defect CFTs in ABJM theory

N Drukker, Z Kong - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We address a longstanding question of whether ABJM theory has Wilson loop
operators preserving eight supercharges (so 1/3 BPS). We present such Wilson loops made …

Spacetimes for λ-deformations

K Sfetsos, DC Thompson - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2014 - Springer
A bstract We examine a recently proposed class of integrable deformations to two-
dimensional conformal field theories. These λ-deformations interpolate between a WZW …

Non-Abelian T-duality, Ramond fields and coset geometries

Y Lozano, EÓ Colgáin, K Sfetsos… - Journal of High Energy …, 2011 - Springer
We extend previous work on non-abelian T-duality in the presence of Ramond fluxes to
cases in which the duality group acts with isotropy such as in backgrounds containing coset …

On the cosmology of type IIA compactifications on SU (3)-structure manifolds

C Caviezel, P Koerber, S Körs, D Lüst… - Journal of High …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
We study cosmological properties of type IIA compactifications on orientifolds of SU (3)-
structure manifolds with non-vanishing geometric flux. These compactifications give rise to …

De Sitter hunting in a classical landscape

UH Danielsson, SS Haque, P Koerber… - Fortschritte der …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
We elaborate on the construction of de Sitter solutions from IIA orientifolds of SU (3)‐
structure manifolds that solve the 10‐dimensional equations of motion at tree‐level in the …

The complete AdS4× CP3 superspace for the type IIA superstring and D-branes

J Gomis, D Sorokin, L Wulff - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
We lift the bosonic AdS 4× CP 3 solution of type IIA supergravity preserving 24
supersymmetries to a D= 10 superspace which has 32 Grassmann-odd directions. The type …

The effective theory of type IIA AdS4 compactifications on nilmanifolds and cosets

C Caviezel, P Koerber, S Körs, D Lüst… - … and Quantum Gravity, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider string theory compactifications of the form AdS with orientifold six-planes,
where is a six-dimensional compact space that is either a nilmanifold or a coset. For all …

Vector theories in cosmology

G Esposito-Farese, C Pitrou, JP Uzan - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields …, 2010 - APS
This article provides a general study of the Hamiltonian stability and the hyperbolicity of
vector field models involving both a general function of the Faraday tensor and its dual, f (F …
