A Bestiary of Higher Dimensional Taub-NUT-AdS Spacetimes

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v5

Abstract

We present a menagerie of solutions to the vacuum Einstein equations in six, eight and ten dimensions. These solutions describe spacetimes which are either locally asymptotically adS or locally asymptotically flat, and which have non-trivial topology. We discuss the global structure of these solutions, and their relevance within the context of M-theory.
