Rotating D0-branes and consistent truncations of supergravity

Abstract

The fluctuations around the D0-brane near-horizon geometry are described by two-dimensional SO(9) gauged maximal supergravity. We work out the U(1)^4 truncation of this theory whose scalar sector consists of five dilaton and four axion fields. We construct the full non-linear Kaluza-Klein ansatz for the embedding of the dilaton sector into type IIA supergravity. This yields a consistent truncation around a geometry which is the warped product of a two-dimensional domain wall and the sphere S^8. As an application, we consider the solutions corresponding to rotating D0-branes which in the near-horizon limit approach AdS2xM8 geometries, and discuss their thermodynamical properties. More generally, we study the appearance of such solutions in the presence of non-vanishing axion fields.Comment: 16 pages, no figure

Supersymmetric domain walls in 7D maximal gauged supergravity

“…However, as pointed out in [18], a systematic study of these domain walls and explicit solutions in other gauge groups have not appeared so far. Similar solutions in lower-dimensional gauged supergravities can also be found in [20,21,22,23,24,25].…”

Matrix model holography

“…Here, we will only consider its U (1) 4 truncation which apart from ρ and the U (1) 4 gauge fields carries four more dilaton fields u a from the 44 and four axion fields φ a from the 84 of SO (9) . The truncated action is given by [11]…”

Einstein-Maxwell-scalar black holes: classes of solutions, dyons and extremality

“…Asymptotically flat, purely electric BHs exist also in EMS models with a non-trivial scalar potential, explicit solutions being reported in[19,20]. Since in this case there are two different terms that source the scalar field (a self-interaction potential and the term coming from the non-trivial coupling with the electric field), a balance is possible, which allows for a well defined extremal limit[21].…”
