We study the `string star' saddle, also known as the Horowitz-Polchinski solution, in the middle of d+1 dimensional thermal AdS space. We show that there's a regime of temperatures in which the saddle is very similar to the flat space…
We study Lorentzian supersymmetric configurations in $D=4$ and $D=5$ gauged $\mathcal{N}=2$ supergravity. We show that there are smooth $1/2$ BPS solutions which are asymptotically AdS$_{4}$ and AdS$_{5}$ with a planar boundary, a compact…
