We construct time-dependent S-brane solutions to the supergravity field equations in various dimensions which (unlike most such geometries) do not contain curvature singularities. The configurations we consider are less symmetric than are…
We show that rotating p-brane solutions admit an analytical continuation to become twisted Sp-branes. Although a rotating p-brane has a naked singularity for large angular momenta, the corresponding S-brane configuration is regular…
Smooth time dependent supergravity solutions corresponding to analytic continuations of Kerr black holes are constructed and limits with a local de Sitter phase are found. These solutions are non-singular due to a helical twist in space and…
Exact, non-singular, time-dependent solutions of Maxwell-Einstein gravity with and without dilatons are constructed by double Wick rotating a variety of static, axisymmetric solutions. This procedure transforms arrays of charged or neutral…
Spacelike branes are new time-dependent systems to explore and it has been observed that related supergravity solutions can be obtained by analytically continuing known D-brane solutions. Here we show that analytic continuation of known…
We construct solutions in purely gravitational bulk with flat vacuum branes without fine tuning the constants of the theory. Our solutions incorporate one or two branes and have topology S^1 x R^4 without Z_2 symmetry. They are not…
We describe the construction of new locally asymptotically (A)dS geometries with relevance for the AdS/CFT and dS/CFT correspondences. Our approach is to obtain new solutions by analytically continuing black hole solutions. A basic…
We prove the uniqueness of the supersymmetric Salam-Sezgin (Minkowski)_4\times S^2 ground state among all nonsingular solutions with a four-dimensional Poincare, de Sitter or anti-de Sitter symmetry. We construct the most general solutions…
We present two classes of brane solutions in pp-wave spacetime. The first class of branes with a rotation parameter are constructed in an exact string background with NS-NS and R-R flux. The spacetime supersymmetry is analyzed by solving…
S(pacelike)D-branes are objects arising naturally in string theory when Dirichlet boundary conditions are imposed on the time direction. SD-brane physics is inherently time-dependent. Previous investigations of gravity fields of SD-branes…
We derive spherically symmetric solutions of the classical \lambda-R model, a minimal, anisotropic modification of general relativity with a preferred foliation and two local degrees of freedom. Starting from a 3 + 1 decomposition of the…
In this paper we generalize electric S-brane solutions with maximal number of branes. Previously for the action containing D-dimensional gravity, a scalar field and antisymmetric (p+2)-form we found composite, electric S-brane solutions…
We study string theory in supersymmetric time-dependent backgrounds. In the framework of general relativity, supersymmetry for spacetimes without flux implies the existence of a covariantly constant null vector, and a relatively simple form…
We identify a time-dependent class of metrics with potential applications to cosmology, which emerge from negative-tension branes. The cosmology is based on a general class of solutions to Einstein-dilaton-Maxwell theory, presented in…
We look for the existence of asymptotically flat simple compactifications of the form $M_{D-p}\times T^{p}$ in $D$-dimensional gravity theories with higher powers of the curvature. Assuming the manifold $M_{D-p}$ to be spherically…
Space-like branes or S-branes are certain class of time dependent solutions of M/string theories having isometries ISO(p+1) $\times$ SO(d-p-2,1), where $d=11,10$ respectively and have singularities at t=0. In \cite{Roy:2006du}, we found…
We study spacetime singularities in a general five-dimensional braneworld with curved branes satisfying four-dimensional maximal symmetry. The bulk is supported by an analog of perfect fluid with the time replaced by the extra coordinate.…
We present here three new solutions of Brans-Dicke theory for a stationary geometry with cylindrical symmetry in the presence of matter in rigid rotation with $T^\mu_\mu\neq 0$. All the solutions have eternal closed timelike curves in some…
We generalize the previously studied cosmological solutions in D-dimensional gravity with an antisymmetric (p+2)-form to the case when the spatial part of the metric is Ricci-flat rather than flat. These generalized solutions are…
We report a new one-parameter family of spherically symmetric, inhomogeneous, and time-dependent solutions of the vacuum Brans-Dicke field equations which are conformal to the Roberts scalar field geometries of Einstein gravity. The new…
