We propose an effective action for the eleven-dimensional (bosonic) Kaluza-Klein monopole solution. The construction of the action requires that the background fields admit an Abelian isometry group. The corresponding sigma-model is gauged…
We construct the effective action of the KK-monopole in a massive Type IIA background. We follow two approaches. First we construct a massive M-theory KK-monopole from which the IIA monopole is obtained by double dimensional reduction. This…
We review the construction of the Kaluza-Klein monopole of the Type IIA theory in the most general case of a massive background, as well as its relation via T-duality with the Type IIB NS-5-brane. This last effective action is shown to be…
We examine Kaluza-Klein branes in detail. Specifically, we show that codimension four submanifolds that are stationary under a semi-free circle action may be interpreted as branes or antibranes in the Kaluza-Klein reduced space that are…
We investigate the effective worldvolume theories of branes in a background given by (the bosonic sector of) 10-dimensional massive IIA supergravity (``massive branes'') and their M-theoretic origin. In the case of the solitonic 5-brane of…
We investigate the Kaluza-Klein reductions to ten dimensions of the purely gravitational half-BPS M-theory backgrounds: the M-wave and the Kaluza-Klein monopole. We determine the moduli space of smooth (supersymmetric) Kaluza-Klein…
The M-theory interpretation of certain D=10 IIA p-branes implies the existence of worldvolume Kaluza-Klein modes which are expected to appear as 0-brane/p-brane bound states preserving 1/4 of the spacetime supersymmetry. We construct the…
We obtain the complete non-linear Kaluza-Klein ansatz for the reduction of the bosonic sector of massive type IIA supergravity to the Romans F(4) gauged supergravity in six dimensions. The latter arises as a consistent warped S^4 reduction.
We analyse the world-volume theory of multiple Kaluza-Klein monopoles in string and M-theory by identifying the appropriate zero modes of various fields. The results are consistent with supersymmetry, and all conjectured duality symmetries.…
We classify and construct all the smooth Kaluza-Klein reductions to ten dimensions of the M2- and M5-brane configurations which preserve some of the supersymmetry. In this way we obtain a wealth of new supersymmetric IIA backgrounds…
This paper is concerned with an extension of the well known Kaluza-Klein mechanism. As the standard ansatz for Kaluza-Klein reduction implies the existence of a gauge potential associated with the KK field strength, it follows immediately…
Supergravity brane solutions allow for a generalised type of Kaluza-Klein reduction onto brane worldvolumes. The known replacement of a flat worldvolume metric by a Ricci-flat metric constitutes a consistent Kaluza-Klein truncation of the…
The analysis of the worldvolume effective actions of the M-theory Kaluza-Klein monopole and 9-brane suggests that it should be possible to describe non-abelian configurations of M2-branes or M5-branes if the M2-branes are transverse to the…
In this note we present a closed expression for the space-time effective action for all bosonic fields (massless and massive) obtained from the compactification of gravity or supergravity theories (such as type II or eleven-dimensional…
We construct consistent brane-world Kaluza-Klein reductions involving the radion mode that measures the separation of the domain-wall branes. In these new examples, we can obtain matter supermultiplets coupled to supergravity on the brane,…
We study the possibility that the Kaluza-Klein monopole (KK6) world-volume action may be obtained from the multiple membranes (M2) action which is described by BLG theory. We first point out that the infinite dimensional Lie 3-algebra based…
In this paper we present a solution for Kaluza-Klein magnetic monopole in a five-dimensional global monopole spacetime. This new solution is a generalization of previous ones obtained by D. Gross and M. Perry (Nucl. Phys. B {\bf 226}, 29…
We look at the vertical dimensional reduction of the supermembrane of M-theory to the D2-brane of Type IIA string theory. Our approach considers the soliton solutions of the two low energy field limits, D=11 and D=10 Type IIA…
We show that topologically massive gravity can be obtained by the consistent Kaluza-Klein reduction from recently constructed seven-dimensional gravity with topological terms. The internal four-manifold should be Einstein with the…
We present new supersymmetric solutions of D=11 supergravity obtained by intersecting the brane configuration interpreted as a 2-brane lying within a 5-brane. Some of these solutions can be boosted along a common string and/or superposed…
