AB  - In the light of the duality between physics in the bulk of anti-de Sitterspace and a conformal field theory on the boundary, we review the M2, D3 and M5branes and how their near-horizon geometry yields the compactification of D=11supergravity on S^{7}, Type IIB supergravity on S^{5} and D=11 supergravity onS^{4}, respectively. We discuss the ``Membrane at the End of the Universe''idea and its relation to the corresponding superconformal singleton theoriesthat live on the boundary of the AdS_{4}, AdS_{5} and AdS_{7} vacua. Themassless sectors of these compactifications are described by the maximallysupersymmetric D=4, D=5 and D=7 gauged supergravities. We construct thenon-linear Kaluza-Klein ans\"atze describing the embeddings of the U(1)^4,U(1)^3 and U(1)^2 truncations of these supergravities, which admit 4-chargeAdS_{4}, 3-charge AdS_{5} and 2-charge AdS_{7} black hole solutions. Theseenable us to embed the black hole solutions back in ten and eleven dimensionsand reinterpret them as M2, D3 and M5 branes spinning in the transversedimensions with the black hole charges given by the angular momenta of thebranes. A comprehensive Appendix lists the field equations, symmetries andtransformation rules of D=11 supergravity, Type IIB supergravity, and the M2,D3 and M5 branes.

Note to staff:  Adding new publications to a research group

  1. Log in to Symplectic.
  2. Click on Menu > Create Links
  3. Choose what you want to create links between – in this case ‘Publications’ and ‘Organisational structures’.
  4. Choose the organisational structure (research group) into which you want to link the publications and check the box next to it.
  5. Now check the box of any publication you want to add to that group. You can use the filters to find what you want and select multiple publications if necessary. 
  6. Scroll to the bottom and click the blue ‘Create new link’ button to link them.
  7. The publications will be added to the group, and will be displayed on the group publications feed within 24 hours (it is not immediate).

Any problems, talk to Tim Evans or the Faculty Web Team.
