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…
We show that a scalar field conformally coupled to AdS gravity in four dimensions with a quartic self-interaction can be embedded into M-theory. The holographic effective potential is exactly calculated, allowing us to study…
We give an example of an asymptotically $AdS_2\times S^2$ metric, in the sense of \cite{GG}, which satisfies the Null Energy Condition but is not exactly $AdS_2\times S^2$. It is therefore a counterexample to a conjecture of Maldacena…
The Chern-Simons formulation of $AdS_3$ supergravity is considered. Asymptotic conditions on the Rarita-Schwinger fields are given. Together with the known boundary conditions on the bosonic fields, these ensure that the asymptotic algebra…
