In this paper, a new locally supersymmetric two brane Randall-Sundrum model is constructed. The construction starts from a D=5, N=2 gauged Yang-Mills/Einstein/tensor supergravity theory with scalar manifold M = SO(1,1) x SO(2,1) / SO(2) and…
It has been recently suggested that gravitons moving in $AdS_m \times S^n$ spacetimes along the $S^n$ blow up into spherical $(n-2)$ branes whose radius increases with increasing angular momentum. This leads to an upper bound on the angular…
A previous study of supersymmetric models has indicated that they are unlikely to make a large contribution to R_b. We revisit this analysis, taking into account the improved lower limits on sparticle masses provided recently by LEP 2 and…
We present an alternative formulation of duality-symmetric eleven-dimensional supergravity with both three-form and six-form gauge fields. Instead of the recently-proposed scalar auxiliary field, we use a simpler lagrangian with a…
We perform a systematic study, in eleven dimensional supergravity, of the geometry of wrapped brane configurations admitting $AdS_2$ limits. Membranes wrapping holomorphic curves in Calabi-Yau manifolds are found to exhibit some novel…
In orbifold compactifications on T^2/Z_2 with Scherk-Schwarz supersymmetry breaking, it is shown that (brane-localised) superpotential interactions and (bulk) gauge interactions generate at one-loop higher derivative counterterms to the…
A new class of six-dimensional asymmetric orientifolds is considered where the orientifold operation is combined with T-duality. The models are supersymmetric in the bulk, but the cancellation of the tadpoles requires the introduction of…
Generalised Complex Geometry provides a natural interpretation of the $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetry conditions for warped solutions of type II supergravity as differential equations on polyforms on the internal manifold. Written in this…
This work establishes a series of no-go conjectures that impose rigorous constraints on the localization of bulk fields in braneworld scenarios, specifically affecting gauge and spinor fields within five-dimensional spacetimes. Our approach…
We present five dimensional gauged supergravity with universal hypermultiplet on M_4 \times S^1 / Z_2 coupled supersymmetrically to three-branes located at the fixed points. The construction is extended to the smooth picture with auxiliary…
We derive general BPS boundary conditions in two-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ supersymmetric gauge theories. We analyze the solutions of these boundary conditions, and in particular those that allow the bulk fields to have poles at the…
We construct the M5-brane limit of eleven-dimensional supergravity. The resulting action is invariant under Galilean boosts and has a local scale symmetry. We also consider the limit of the equations of motion where we recover a…
Local supersymmetries have been a guiding principle to construct smooth horizonless supergravity solutions. By computing brane densities from the brane low-energy effective action, we classify the BPS solutions that have the maximal local…
We consider gravitationally induced corrections to inflaton potentials driven by supersymmetry breaking in a five-dimensional supergravity, compactified on a $ S_1/Z_2 $ orbifold. The supersymmetry breaking takes place on the hidden brane…
We give a model-independent derivation of general intersecting rules for spacelike branes (S-branes) in arbitrary dimensions $d$. This is achieved by directly solving bosonic field equations for supergravity coupled to a dilaton and…
We construct the world-volume action for non-BPS D-branes in type II string theories. This action is invariant under all the unbroken supersymmetries in the bulk, but these symmetries are realised as spontaneously broken symmetries in the…
We construct gauged supergravity actions which describe the dynamics of M-theory on a Calabi-Yau threefold in the vicinity of a conifold transition. The actions explicitly include N charged hypermultiplets descending from wrapped M2-branes…
We derive the spacetime superalgebras explicitly from ``test'' M-brane actions in M-brane backgrounds to the lowest order in $\theta$ via canonical formalism, and discuss various BPS saturated configurations on the basis of their central…
Using N=2 off-shell supergravity in five dimensions, we supersymmetrize the brane world scenario of Randall and Sundrum. We extend their construction to include supersymmetric matter at the fixpoints.
To construct rigidly or locally supersymmetric bulk-plus-boundary actions, one needs an extension of the usual tensor calculus. Its key ingredients are the extended (F-, D-, etc.) density formulas and the rule for the decomposition of bulk…
