Abstract

We construct local solutions to 11-dimensional supergravity (or M-theory), which are invariant under the superalgebra D(2,1;c;0)D(2,1;c;0)D(2, 1; c'; 0)\oplus D(2, 1; c'; 0) for all values of the parameter cc'. The BPS constraints are reduced to a single linear PDE on a complex function GG. The PDE was solved in 0806.0605 modulo application of boundary and regularity conditions. The physical fields of the solutions are determined by cc', a harmonic function hh, and the complex function GG. h h and GG are both functions on a 2-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold. The harmonic function h h is freely chosen. We obtain the expressions for the metric and the field strength in terms of GG, hh, and cc' and show that these are indeed valid solutions of the Einstein, Maxwell, and Bianchi equations. Finally we give a construction of one parameter deformations of AdS7×S4AdS_7 \times S^4 and AdS4×S7AdS_4 \times S^7 as a function of cc'.
