Recent developments in unifying treatment of domain wall configurations and their global space-time structure is presented. Domain walls between vacua of non-equal cosmological constant fall in three classes depending on the value of their…
We study a black hole domain wall system in dilaton gravity which is the low-energy limit of the superstring theory. We solve numerically equations of motion for real self-interacting scalar field and justify the existence of static…
Within four dimensional (4d) N=1 supergravity theories we present extreme dilatonic domain wall solutions with a general overall coupling $\alpha$ in the dilaton K\" ahler potential. We concentrate on extreme Type I walls, which are static,…
We investigate gravitational effects of extreme, non-extreme and ultra- extreme domain walls in the presence of a dilaton field. The dilaton is a scalar field without self-interaction that couples to the matter po- tential that is…
We study supersymmetric (extreme) domain walls in four-dimensional (4d) N=1 supergravity theories with a general dilaton coupling $\alpha > 0$. Type I walls, which are static, planar (say, in ($x,y$) plane) configurations, interpolate…
We study some aspects of dilatonic domain walls in relation to the idea on the noncompact internal space. We find that the warp factor in the spacetime metric increases as one moves away from the domain wall for all the supersymmetric…
We give examples of string compactifications to 4d Minkowski space with different amounts of supersymmetry that can be connected by spherical domain walls. The tension of these domain walls is tunably lower than the 4d Planck scale. The…
We address a supersymmetric embedding of domain walls with asymptotically anti-deSitter (AdS) space-times in five-dimensional simple, N=2 U(1) gauged supergravity theory constructed by Gunaydin, Townsend and Sierra. These conformally flat…
We review the status of domain walls in $N=1$ supergravity theories for both the vacuum domain walls as well as dilatonic domain walls. We concentrate on a systematic analysis of the nature of the space-time in such domain wall backgrounds…
We discuss the existance of smooth soliton solutions which interpolate between supersymmetric vacua in odd-dimensional theories. In particular we apply this analysis to a wide class of supergravities to argue against the existence of smooth…
We study a black hole domain wall system in dilatonic gravity being the low-energy limit of the string theory. Using the C-metric construction we derive the metric for an infinitisemally thin domain wall intersecting dilaton black hole. The…
Dynamical systems methods are used to investigate domain-wall solutions of a two-parameter family of models in which gravity is coupled to an axion, and to a dilaton with an exponential potential of either sign. A complete global analysis…
We solve the dilaton field equation in the background of a spherically symmetric black hole in type II superstring theory with $\alpha'^3$ corrections in arbitrary $d$ spacetime dimensions. We then apply this result to obtain a spherically…
We analyze the backreaction of dilaton tadpoles on the geometry of non-supersymmetric strings. After finding explicit warped solutions for a T-dual version of the Sugimoto model, we examine the possibility of realizing large extra dimension…
We examine the field equations of a self-gravitating global string in low energy superstring gravity, allowing for an arbitrary coupling of the global string to the dilaton. Massive and massless dilatons are considered. For the massive…
We study supersymmetric domain walls in N=1 supergravity theories, including those with modular-invariant superpotentials arising in superstring compactifications. Such domain walls are shown to saturate the Bogomol'nyi bound of wall energy…

A supersymmetric theory with several scalar superfields generically has several domain wall type classical configurations which interpolate between various supersymmetric vacua of the scalar fields. Depending on the couplings, some of these…
We study the dynamics of domain walls in Einstein-Born-Infeld-dilaton theory. Dilaton is non-trivially coupled with the Born-Infeld electromagnetic field. We find three different types of solutions consistent with the dynamic domain walls.…
We investigate spherically symmetric solutions in string theory. Such solutions depend on three parameters, one of which corresponds to the asymptotic mass while the other two are the dilaton and two-form field amplitudes, respectively. If…
