Abstract

In this paper we study the rotationally invariant harmonic cohomology of a 2-parameter family of Einstein metrics gg which admits a cohomogeneity one action of SU(2)×U(1)SU (2) \times U (1) and has AdS asymptotics. Depending on the values of the parameters, gg is either of NUT type, if the fixed-point locus of the U(1)U (1) action is 0-dimensional, or of bolt type, if it is 2-dimensional. We find that if gg is of NUT type then the space of SU(2)SU (2) -invariant harmonic 2-forms is 3-dimensional and consists entirely of self-dual forms; if gg is of bolt type it is 4-dimensional. In both cases we explicitly determine a basis. The pair (g,F)(g,F) for FF a self-dual harmonic 2-form is also a solution of the bosonic sector of 4D4D supergravity. We determine for which choices it is a supersymmetric solution and the amount of preserved supersymmetry.
