On Supersymmetric Solutions of D = 4 Gauged Supergravity
Abstract
Description
We review the classification of supersymmetric solutions to minimal gauged supergravity in four dimensions. After a short introduction to the main features of the theory, we explain how to obtain all its solutions admitting a Killing spinor. Then, we analyze the rich mathematical structure behind them and present the supersymmetric field configurations. Among them, we find supersymmetric black holes, quarter and half BPS traveling waves, kink solutions, and supersymmetric Kundt and Robinson-Trautman solutions. Finally, we generalize the classification to include external sources, and show a particular solution describing a supersymmetric Goedel-type universe.
