The usual supermembrane solution of $D=11$ supergravity interpolates between $R^{11}$ and $AdS_4 \times round~S^7$, has symmetry $P_3 \times SO(8)$ and preserves $1/2$ of the spacetime supersymmetries for either orientation of the round…
We consider superconformal field theories in three and six dimensions with eight supercharges which can be realized on the world-volume of M-theory branes sitting at orbifold singularities. We find that they should admit a N=4 and N=2…

We give a large class of new supersymmetric Janus solutions in dyonic $ISO(7)$ maximal gauged supergravity encompassing all known solutions appearing recently. We consider $SO(3)$ invariant sector in which the gauged supergravity admits…
We construct a consistent reduction of type IIA supergravity on S^3, leading to a maximal gauged supergravity in seven dimensions with the full set of massless SO(4) Yang-Mills fields. We do this by starting with the known S^4 reduction of…
We study consistent Kaluza-Klein reductions of type IIB supergravity on T(1,1) down to five-dimensions. We find that the most general reduction containing singlets under the global SU(2)xSU(2) symmetry of T(1,1) is N=4 gauged supergravity…
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…
We present a new supersymmetric AdS_6 solution of type IIB supergravity with SU(2) isometry. Through the AdS/CFT correspondence, this has potentially very interesting implications for 5d fixed point theories. This solution is the result of…
