Vacuum interpolation in supergravity via super p-branes

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-07 v1

Abstract

We show that many of the recently proposed supersymmetric p-brane solutions of d=10 and d=11 supergravity have the property that they interpolate between Minkowski spacetime and a compactified spacetime, both being supersymmetric supergravity vacua. Our results imply that the effective worldvolume action for small fluctuations of the super p-brane is a supersingleton field theory for (adS)p+2(adS)_{p+2}, as has been often conjectured in the past.
