Abstract

We analyze solutions of string theory and supergravity which involve real hyperbolic spaces. Examples of string compactifications are given in terms of hyperbolic coset spaces of finite volume Γ\HN\Gamma\backslash {\mathbb H}^N, where Γ\Gamma is a discrete group of isometries of HN{\mathbb H}^N. We describe finite flux and the tensor kernel associated with hyperbolic spaces. The case of arithmetic geometry of Γ=SL(2,Z+iZ)/{±Id}\Gamma = SL(2, {\mathbb Z}+i{\mathbb Z})/\{\pm Id\}, where IdId is the identity matrix, is analyzed. We discuss supersymmetry surviving for supergravity solutions involving real hyperbolic space factors, string-supergravity correspondence and holography principle for a class of conformal field theories.
