A bstract We use the classical double copy to identify a necessary condition for Maxwell theory sources constitute single copies of Kerr-Schild solutions Einstein’s equations. In case four-dimensional spacetimes on Minkowski backgrounds, we extend this parameterization corresponding copies. These are given by Líenard-Wiechert fields charges complex worldlines. This unifies known instances black holes flat backgrounds into framework. Furthermore, more generic identified show why ring in five...

A bstract We construct the first class of topological solitons in gravity that are supported by internal electromagnetic flux with vanishing net charges. The solutions obtained a six-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory three-form flux, and admit an uplift to type IIB supergravity on T 4 . They asymptotic torus fibration over four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. An interesting corresponds BPS particle its anti-BPS partner held apart vacuum bubble. In IIB, they correspond bound states D1-D5...

We analyze the global symmetries and anomalies of 4d $\mathcal{N} = 1$ field theories that arise from a stack $N$ M5-branes probing class flux backgrounds. These backgrounds consist resolved $\mathbb{C}^2 / \mathbb{Z}_k$ singularity fibered over smooth Riemann surface genus $g \geq 2$, supported by non-trivial $G_4$-flux configuration labeled collection $2(k-1)$ quanta, $\{N_i\}$. For $k=2$, this setup defines superconformal theory (SCFT) in IR, which is holographically dual to an explicit...

A bstract We extend the anomaly inflow methods developed in M-theory to SCFTs engineered via D3-branes type IIB. show that ’t Hooft anomalies of such can be computed systematically from their geometric definition. Our procedure is tested several 4d examples and applied 2d theories obtained by wrapping on a Riemann surface. In particular, we how analyze half-BPS regular punctures for $$ \mathcal{N} <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>N</mml:mi> </mml:math> = 4...

We study the twisted compactifications of five-dimensional Seiberg SCFTs, with $SU_\mathcal{M}(2)\times E_{N_f+1}$ flavor symmetry, on a generic Riemann surface that preserves four supercharges. The SCFTs are obtained from decoupling limit $N$ D4-branes probing geometry $N_f<8$ D8-branes and an O8-plane. In addition to R-symmetry, we can also twist symmetry by turning background flux surface. particular, in string theory construction for $SU_\mathcal{M}(2)$ has geometric origin, similar...

We show that the classical double copy relationship for Kerr-Schild spacetimes can be dimensionally reduced to give a natural notion of Kaluza-Klein theory with gravity coupled gauge field and dilaton. Under dimensional reduction (KS) ansatz becomes stringy (sKS) introduced by Wu. This captures many black hole solutions, including single-charge holes arising in both gauged ungauged supergravity theories. identify single scalar an arbitrary sKS solution. boost-reduction procedure generating...

A bstract This paper presents a new perspective on integrability in theories of gravity. We show how the stationary, axisymmetric sector General Relativity can be described by boundary dynamics four-dimensional Chern-Simons theory. approach shows promise for simplifying solution generating methods both and higher-dimensional supergravity theories. The theory presented generalises those flat space integrable models introducing space-time dependent branch cut spectral plane. also make contact...

On one hand, we integration anomaly polynomial parent surface. other perform an inflow analysis directly from eleven dimensions, setup resolved fibered over By comparing polynomials, provide characterization class modes that decouple along RG flow six to four for generic $N$, $k$, and genus. These...

A bstract In this paper, we present a unified perspective on sphere consistent truncations based the classical geometric properties of bundles. The backbone our approach is global angular form for sphere. universal formula Kaluza-Klein ansatz flux threading n -sphere captures full nonabelian isometry group SO( + 1) and scalar deformations associated to coset SL( 1, ℝ)/SO( 1). all cases, scalars enter in shift by an exact form. We find that latter can be completely fixed imposing mild...
