Abstract

The metric of S7S^7 can be written as an SU(2)SU(2)-instanton bundle over S4S^4. It is also possible to write it differently as an anti-instanton bundle. We use this observation to construct an instanton--anti-instanton, SU(2)×SU(2)SU(2)\times SU(2), bundle over S4S^4. We show that this 10d manifold admits two Einstein metrics. We then rewrite the metric to isolate two U(1)U(1) directions of the fibre and dimensionally reduce along them to get an eight dimensional metric describing an S2×S2S^2\times S^2 bundle over S4S^4. This metric allows a harmonic 4-form which we use to derive new supergravity solutions in eleven and ten dimensions as AdS3×M8AdS_3\times M_8 and AdS2×M8AdS_2\times M_8, respectively.
