HKT Geometry and Fake Five Dimensional Supergravity
Recent results on the relation between hyper-Kahler geometry with torsion and
solutions admitting Killing spinors in minimal de sitter supergravity are
extended to more general supergravity models with vector multiplets.Comment: 14 pages, latex. Minor typos corrected, references adde
Mapping the G-structures and supersymmetric vacua of five-dimensional N=4 supergravity
We classify the supersymmetric vacua of N=4, d=5 supergravity in terms of
G-structures. We identify three classes of solutions: with R^3, SU(2) and
generic SO(4) structure. Using the Killing spinor equations, we fully
characterize the first two classes and partially solve the latter. With the N=4
graviton multiplet decomposed in terms of N=2 multiplets: the graviton, vector
and gravitino multiplets, we obtain new supersymmetric solutions corresponding
to turning on fields in the gravitino multiplet. These vacua are described in
terms of an SO(5) vector sigma-model coupled with gravity, in three or four
dimensions. A new feature of these N=4 vacua, which is not seen from an N=2
point of view, is the possibility for preserving more exotic fractions of
supersymmetry. We give a few concrete examples of these new supersymmetric
(albeit singular) solutions. Additionally, we show how by truncating the N=4,
d=5 set of fields to minimal supergravity coupled with one vector multiplet we
recover the known two-charge solutions.Comment: 31 pages, late
New data on the distribution, biology and morphology of Asemum tenuicorne Kraatz, 1879 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), with new records from Poland
We report the discovery of the pyrophilous species, Asemum tenuicorne (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in the BiaĆowieĆŒa Primeval Forest (NE Poland) in 2009 and 2016. This species was previously known only from Southern Europe and one locality detached from the main range on the island of Gotska Sandön in Southern Sweden. Information on its northern spread and current distribution is summarized and critically analyzed and new data on its biology are provided. The morphology of A. tenuicorne adults was studied using 46 specimens from different localities and compared with 63 specimens of the widely distributed Asemum striatum. Differences between the two species are presented and illustrated using external features, morphometric measurements, shape of the male copulatory organs and wing venation
Vanishing Preons in the Fifth Dimension
We examine supersymmetric solutions of N=2, D=5 gauged supergravity coupled
to an arbitrary number of abelian vector multiplets using the spinorial
geometry method. By making use of methods developed in hep-th/0606049 to
analyse preons in type IIB supergravity, we show that there are no solutions
preserving exactly 3/4 of the supersymmetry.Comment: 19 pages, latex. Reference added, and further modification to the

The return of the four- and five-dimensional preons
We prove the existence of 3/4-BPS preons in four- and five-dimensional gauged
supergravities by explicitly constructing them as smooth quotients of the AdS_4
and AdS_5 maximally supersymmetric backgrounds, respectively. This result
illustrates how the spacetime topology resurrects a fraction of supersymmetry
previously ruled out by the local analysis of the Killing spinor equations.Comment: 10 pages (a minor imprecision has been corrected
Interval identification of FMR parameters for spin reorientation transition in (Ga,Mn)As
In this work we report results of ferromagnetic resonance studies of a 6% 15
nm (Ga,Mn)As layer, deposited on (001)-oriented GaAs. The measurements were
performed with in-plane oriented magnetic field, in the temperature range
between 5K and 120K. We observe a temperature induced reorientation of the
effective in-plane easy axis from [-110] to [110] direction close to the Curie
temperature. The behavior of magnetization is described by anisotropy fields,
H_{eff} (= 4\piM -H_{2\perp}), H_{2\parallel}, and H_{4\parallel}. In order to
precisely investigate this reorientation, numerical values of anisotropy fields
have been determined using powerful - but still largely unknown - interval
calculations. In simulation mode this approach makes possible to find all the
resonance fields for arbitrarily oriented sample, which is generally
intractable analytically. In 'fitting' mode we effectively utilize full
experimental information, not only those measurements performed in special,
distinguished directions, to reliably estimate the values of important physical
parameters as well as their uncertainties and correlations.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figures. Presented at The European Conference "Physics of
Magnetism 2011" (PM'11), June 27 - July 1, 2011, Poznan, Polan
Maximally Minimal Preons in Four Dimensions
Killing spinors of N=2, D=4 supergravity are examined using the spinorial
geometry method, in which spinors are written as differential forms. By making
use of methods developed in hep-th/0606049 to analyze preons in type IIB
supergravity, we show that there are no simply connected solutions preserving
exactly 3/4 of the supersymmetry.Comment: 18 pages. References added, comments added discussing the possibility
of discrete quotients of AdS(4) preserving 3/4 supersymmetry
M-Horizons
We solve the Killing spinor equations and determine the near horizon
geometries of M-theory that preserve at least one supersymmetry. The M-horizon
spatial sections are 9-dimensional manifolds with a Spin(7) structure
restricted by geometric constraints which we give explicitly. We also provide
an alternative characterization of the solutions of the Killing spinor
equation, utilizing the compactness of the horizon section and the field
equations, by proving a Lichnerowicz type of theorem which implies that the
zero modes of a Dirac operator coupled to 4-form fluxes are Killing spinors. We
use this, and the maximum principle, to solve the field equations of the theory
for some special cases and present some examples.Comment: 36 pages, latex. Reference added, minor typos correcte
All null supersymmetric backgrounds of N=2, D=4 gauged supergravity coupled to abelian vector multiplets
The lightlike supersymmetric solutions of N=2, D=4 gauged supergravity
coupled to an arbitrary number of abelian vector multiplets are classified
using spinorial geometry techniques. The solutions fall into two classes,
depending on whether the Killing spinor is constant or not. In both cases, we
give explicit examples of supersymmetric backgrounds. Among these BPS
solutions, which preserve one quarter of the supersymmetry, there are
gravitational waves propagating on domain walls or on bubbles of nothing that
asymptote to AdS_4. Furthermore, we obtain the additional constraints obeyed by
half-supersymmetric vacua. These are divided into four categories, that include
bubbles of nothing which are asymptotically AdS_4, pp-waves on domain walls,
AdS_3 x R, and spacetimes conformal to AdS_3 times an interval.Comment: 55 pages, uses JHEP3.cls. v2: Minor errors corrected, small changes

Supersymmetric gyratons in five dimensions
We obtain the gravitational and electromagnetic field of a spinning radiation
beam-pulse (a gyraton) in minimal five-dimensional gauged supergravity and show
under which conditions the solution preserves part of the supersymmetry. The
configurations represent generalizations of Lobatchevski waves on AdS with
nonzero angular momentum, and possess a Siklos-Virasoro reparametrization
invariance. We compute the holographic stress-energy tensor of the solutions
and show that it transforms without anomaly under these reparametrizations.
Furthermore, we present supersymmetric gyratons both in gauged and ungauged
five-dimensional supergravity coupled to an arbitrary number of vector
supermultiplets, which include gyratons on domain walls.Comment: 25 pages, no figures, uses JHEP3.cls. Final version to appear in CQ
