Following work on theories with SU(N) gauge groups, we perform a large-N saddle-point approximation of the measure for ADHM multi-instantons in N=4 supersymmetric gauge theories with symplectic or orthogonal gauge groups. For Sp(N) we find…
We determine the form of all timelike supersymmetric solutions of all N greater or equal than 2, d=4 ungauged supergravities, for N less or equal than 4 coupled to vector supermultiplets, using the $Usp(n+1,n+1)-symmetric formulation of…
It is known that one can define a consistent theory of extended, $N=2$ anti-de Sitter (AdS) Supergravity (SUGRA) in $D=4$. Besides the standard gravitational part, this theory involves a single $U(1)$ gauge field and a pair of Majorana…
We develop the geometry of four dimensional N=2 superspace where the entire conformal algebra of SU(2,2|2) is realized linearly in the structure group rather than just the SL(2,C) x U(2)_R subgroup of Lorentz and R-symmetries, extending to…
Following the recent construction of maximal (N=16) gauged supergravity in three dimensions, we derive gauged D=3, N=8 supergravities in three dimensions as deformations of the corresponding ungauged theories with scalar manifolds…
We explore the spectrum of lower-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) solutions in $F(4)$ gauged supergravity in six dimensions. The ansatz employed corresponds to D4-branes partially wrapped on various supersymmetric cycles in special holonomy…

We classify the large $N$ limits of four-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories with simple gauge groups that flow to superconformal fixed points. We restrict ourselves to the ones without a superpotential and with a fixed flavor…
The BPS equations in M-theory for solutions with 16 residual supersymmetries, $SO(2,2)\times SO(4)\times SO(4)$ symmetry, and $AdS_4 \times S^7$ asymptotics, were reduced in [arXiv:0806.0605] to a linear first order partial differential…
We present general results on generating $\text{AdS}_2$ solutions to Type II supergravity from $\text{AdS}_3$ solutions via U(1) and SL(2) T-dualities. We focus on a class of Type IIB solutions with small $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetry, that…
We construct a new family of $\text{AdS}_2\times S^3\times S^2$ solutions to Type IIB supergravity arising as near-horizon geometries of D1-F1-D3-D5-NS5-D7 brane intersections preserving 4 supersymmetries. We show that a subclass of these…
We study supersymmetric black holes in $AdS_4$ in the framework of four dimensional gauged $\N=2$ supergravity coupled to hypermultiplets. We derive the flow equations for a general electrically gauged theory where the gauge group is…
Four dimensional N=1 supersymmetric gauge theory with gauge group SU(N_c) and matter in the adjoint and fundamental representations gives rise to a series of fixed points with an ADE classification. The A and D series exhibit…
We construct supersymmetric solutions of three dimensional N = (1,1) General Massive Supergravity (GMG). Solutions with a null Killing vector are in general pp-waves. We identify those that appear at critical points of the model some of…
We consider the most general SU(3) singlet space of gauged N=8 supergravity in four-dimensions. The SU(3)-invariant six scalar fields in the theory can be viewed in terms of six real four-forms. By exponentiating these four-forms, we…
Pseudo-supersymmetric solutions of minimal $N=2$, $D=4$ de Sitter supergravity are classified using spinorial geometry techniques. We find three classes of solutions. The first class of solution consists of geometries which are fibrations…
Solutions of D=7 maximal gauged supergravity are constructed with metrics that are a product of a n-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) space, with n=2,3,4,5, and certain Einstein manifolds. The gauge fields have the same form as in the…
We discuss two classes of non-supersymmetric interpolating solutions in N=2, D=4 gauged supergravity, that flow from either a z=2 Lifshitz geometry or a conformal AdS background to the near-horizon geometry of a Nernst brane. We obtain…
Four-dimensional supersymmetric N = 1 vacua of type IIB supergravity are elegantly described by generalized complex geometry. However, this approach typically obscures the SL(2, R) covariance of the underlying theory. We show how to rewrite…
We study the SO(4)-symmetric solution of the five-dimensional SU(2) x U(1) gauged N=4 supergravity theory obtained in [hep-th/0101202]. This solution contains purely magnetic non-Abelian and electric Abelian fields. It can be interpreted as…
