On timelike supersymmetric solutions of Abelian gauged 5-dimensional supergravity
Samuele Chimento
Abstract
We consider 5-dimensional gauged supergravity coupled to Abelian vector multiplets, and we look for supersymmetric solutions for which the 4-dimensional Kähler base space admits a holomorphic isometry. Taking advantage of this isometry, we are able to find several supersymmetric solutions for the ST special geometric model with arbitrarily many vector multiplets. Among these there are three families of solutions with independent parameters, which for one of the families can be seen to correspond to electric charges and one angular momentum. These solutions generalize the ones recently found for minimal gauged supergravity in JHEP 1704 (2017) 017 and include in particular the general supersymmetric asymptotically-AdS5 black holes of Gutowski and Reall, analogous black hole solutions with non-compact horizon, the three near horizon geometries themselves, and the singular static solutions of Behrndt, Chamseddine and Sabra.

1 Introduction
Exact solutions of supergravity theories have been and continue to be instrumental in gaining new insights into string theory and related areas of research. In particular asymptotically anti-de Sitter solutions, which occur naturally in gauged supergravity, are interesting from the point of view of the AdS/CFT correspondence, since in that context they can be viewed as gravitational duals of strongly coupled quantum systems living on the AdS boundary.
Symmetry has always been one of the main tools in the search for exact solutions of gravity theories, since requiring the invariance of the solution under some symmetry transformation can dramatically simplify the usually formidable task of solving the equations of motion.
In the supergravity setting it is natural to look for solutions with some unbroken supersymmetry. This implies that the bosonic equations of motion are related through the Killing Spinor Identities Kallosh:1993wx , reducing the problem of solving them to that of solving just a small subset plus the first order supersymmetry equations.
However, while assuming unbroken supersymmetry makes the problem more tractable, it is usually not enough to find explicit solutions, and one has to make some additional assumptions or to impose a specific ansatz in order to solve the equations.111For a comprehensive review of supersymmetric solutions of supergravity theories with many references see, e.g. Ref.Ortin:2015hya .
An approach that has proven to be very successful in ungauged 5-dimensional supergravity, with or without vector multiplets, is to assume that the 4-dimensional base space, which for that theory has to be hyperKähler, admits one triholomorphic isometry. In this case the base space has a Gibbons-Hawking metric Gibbons:1979zt ; Gibbons:1987sp , and it turns out that the solutions can be completely characterized in terms of a small number of building blocks, namely harmonic functions on 3-dimensional flat space Gauntlett:2002nw ; Gauntlett:2004qy . The same ansatz has also been effective for , supergravity with vector multiplets and non-Abelian gaugings Meessen:2015enl , but without Fayet-Iliopoulos terms, in which case the base space is again a 4-dimensional hyperKähler space.
Recently Chimento:2016mmd a similar ansatz was applied to the case of minimal gauged supergravity, where a U(1) subgroup of the SU(2) R-symmetry group is gauged by adding a Fayet-Iliopoulos term to the bosonic action. In this case the base space is just Kähler, instead of hyperKähler, and the ansatz consists in assuming that it admits a holomorphic isometry. The metric of the base space can then be written in terms of two functions Chimento:2016run in a form that generalizes the Gibbons-Hawking metrics, and the problem of finding supersymmetric solutions is reduced to that of solving a system of fourth order differential equations for these two functions plus a third one.
The aim of this paper is to apply the same ansatz in the case of , supergravity with vector multiplets and Abelian Fayet-Iliopoulos gaugings, where a U(1) subgroup of the SU(2) R-symmetry group is gauged with a linear combination of the vector fields of the theory, in which case the base space is again Kähler.
The paper is organized as follows. Section 2 consists in a quick review of the theory and the conditions to impose on the fields in order to obtain (timelike) supersymmetric solutions. In Section 3 we adapt the supersymmetry equations to the assumption that the 4-dimensional Kähler base space of the solution admits a holomorphic isometry, after writing the general form for a metric of this kind. In Section 4, after making some additional assumptions, we find several supersymmetric solutions for the special geometric model ST with an arbitrary number of vector multiplets. Among these are three general classes of superficially asymptotically-AdS solutions that can be seen as a generalization in the presence of vector multiplets of solutions found recently for pure gauged supergravity Chimento:2016mmd . They are studied in some detail in Subsection 4.1, where the conserved charges are computed for one of the families, and it is shown that they include as particular cases black holes with compact or non-compact horizon, as well as static singular solutions. In Subsection 4.2 we give the explicit expression of the fields for supersymmetric black holes not included in the solutions of Subsection 4.1, despite being very similar to a subcase of them. We conclude in Section 5 with some final remarks.
2 Abelian gauged supergravity
In this section we give a brief description of the bosonic sector of a general theory of supergravity coupled to vector multiplets in which a U subgroup of the SU R-symmetry group has been gauged by the addition of Fayet-Iliopoulos (FI) terms. The U subgroup to be gauged and the gauge vector used in the gauging are determined by the tensor , as we are going to explain.222Although its origin is different, it can be understood as a particular example of embedding tensor. Our conventions are those in Refs. Bellorin:2006yr ; Bellorin:2007yp which are those of Ref. Bergshoeff:2004kh with minor modifications.
The supergravity multiplet is constituted by the graviton the gravitino and the graviphoton . All the spinors are symplectic Majorana spinors and carry a fundamental SU(2) R-symmetry index. The vector multiplets, labeled by consist of a real vector field a real scalar and a gaugino .
It is convenient to combine the matter vector fields with the graviphoton into a vector . It is also convenient to define a vector of functions of the scalars . supersymmetry requires that these functions of the scalars satisfy a constraint of the form
[TABLE]
where the constant symmetric tensor completely characterizes the ungauged theory and the Special Real geometry of the scalar manifold. In particular, the kinetic matrix of the vector fields and the metric of the scalar manifold can be derived from it as follows: first, we define
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Then, is defined implicitly by the relations
[TABLE]
It can be checked that
[TABLE]
The metric of the scalar manifold , which we will use to raise and lower indices is (proportional to) the pullback of
[TABLE]
We will use the completeness relation
[TABLE]
The FI gauging of any model of supergravity coupled to vector multiplets is completely determined by the choice of , where is a index. In the Abelian case, this tensor can be factorized as follows:
[TABLE]
where is the gauge coupling constant, (which we can normalize ) chooses a direction in S3 or, equivalently, a to be gauged and (also normalized ) dictates which linear combination of the vector fields, , acts as gauge field. is a convenient combination of constants that we will use. We will not make any specific choices for the time being.
The bosonic action is given in terms of and and
[TABLE]
where the Abelian vector field strengths are and the scalar potential is given by

The equations of motion for the bosonic fields are

2.1 Timelike supersymmetric solutions
The general form of the solutions of these theories admitting a timelike Killing spinor333A timelike (commuting) spinor is, by definition, such that the real vector bilinear constructed from it is timelike. was found in Refs. Gauntlett:2003fk ; Gutowski:2004yv ; Gutowski:2005id . In what follows we are going to review it using the notation and results of Ref. Bellorin:2007yp in which general non-Abelian gaugings were considered,444Even more general gaugings were considered in Bellorin:2008we with the inclusion of tensor multiplets. but restricting to Abelian FI gaugings.
The building blocks of the timelike supersymmetric solutions are the scalar function , the 4-dimensional spatial metric ,555 will be tangent space indices and will be curved indices. We are going to denote with hats all objects that naturally live in this 4-dimensional space. an antiselfdual almost hypercomplex structure ,666That is: the 2-forms satisfy
(14)
(15)
a 1-form , the 1-form potentials and the scalars of the theory combined into the functions . All these fields are defined on the 4-dimensional spatial manifold usually called “base space”. They are time-independent and must satisfy a number of conditions:
The antiselfdual almost hypercomplex structure , the 1-form potentials and the base space metric (through its Levi-Civita connection) satisfy the equation
[TABLE] 2. 2.
The selfdual part of the spatial vector field strengths must be related to the function , the 1-form and the scalars of the theory by
[TABLE] 3. 3.
while the antiselfdual part is related to the almost hypercomplex structure by777In this equation the indices of have been raised using the inverse metric and one has the useful relations
(18)
[TABLE] 4. 4.
Finally, all the building blocks are related by the equation
[TABLE]
where the dots indicate standard contraction of all the indices of the tensors.
Once the building blocks that satisfy the above conditions have been found, the physical 5-dimensional fields can be built out of them888In the ungauged case the above conditions determine the quotients from which can be found by using the condition Eq. (1). as follows:
The 5-dimensional (conformastationary) metric is given by
[TABLE] 2. 2.
The complete 5-dimensional vector fields are given by
[TABLE]
so that the spatial components are
[TABLE]
and the 5-dimensional field strength is
[TABLE] 3. 3.
The scalar fields can be obtained by inverting the functions or . A parametrization which is always available is
[TABLE]
As it has already been observed in Refs. Gauntlett:2003fk ; Gutowski:2005id choosing we see that Eq. (16) gives us additional information: it splits into
[TABLE]
where we have defined
[TABLE]
The first equation means that the metric is Kähler with respect to the complex structure . Taking this fact into account,999We use the integrability condition of Eq. (26)
(30)
which leads to the relation between the Ricci and Riemann tensors
(31)
The Ricci 2-form, defined as
(32)
is, therefore, related to the Riemann tensor by
(33)
the integrability condition of the other two equations is101010If vanishes (for instance, in the ungauged case), then we have a covariantly constant hyper-Kähler structure and, then, the base space is hyperKähler.
[TABLE]
This equation must be read as a constraint on the 1-form potentials posed by the choice of base space metric.
Eq. (19) takes a simpler form as well:
[TABLE]
Tracing the first of these equations and Eq. (34) with one finds a relation between the Ricci scalar of the base space metric, the scalar potential and the function :
[TABLE]
The last equation to be simplified by our choice is Eq. (20). Substituting in it Eq. (35) and using Eqs. (18) and the completeness relation Eq. (7) one finds
[TABLE]
In order to make progress one has to start making specific assumptions about the base space metric. In the ungauged Gauntlett:2002nw ; Bellorin:2006yr and the non-Abelian gauged cases Meessen:2015enl it has proven very useful to assume that the base space metric has an additional isometry because, then, it depends on a very small number of independent functions. Recently the same assumption was made for pure gauged supergravity Chimento:2016mmd , where the base space can be a general Kähler metric, allowing to reduce the problem of finding supersymmetric solutions to a system of fourth order differential equations for three functions. In what follows we are going to make the same assumption for the case at hand, in which vector multiplets are present, in the attempt to simplify the task of finding supersymmetric solutions.
3 Timelike supersymmetric solutions of Abelian gauged
supergravity with one additional isometry
Any four-dimensional Kähler metric with one holomorphic isometry can be written locally as Chimento:2016run :
[TABLE]
with the functions and , and the 1-form , depending only on the three coordinates and satisfying the constraints:
[TABLE]
whose integrability condition is
[TABLE]
In a frame defined by the Vierbein
[TABLE]
the conserved complex structure is given by
[TABLE]
The Ricci tensor and Ricci scalar of the 4-dimensional metric can be expressed in terms of the functions and in a compact form,
[TABLE]
where the 4-dimensional Laplacian acts on -independent functions as
[TABLE]
and is the Laplacian operator associated with the 3-dimensional metric
[TABLE]
The expression for the Ricci scalar should be compared with Eq. (36).
We will take the base space metric to be of the form (38), and we will make the identification . We can solve for in Eqs. (27) and (28) if we choose a particular form for the complex structures . Without loss of generality they can be chosen to be
[TABLE]
where is the second Pauli matrix
[TABLE]
Then we find that the flat components of can be written in the compact form
[TABLE]
On the other hand, recalling the definition of Eq. (29) we find for the gauge vector and its field strength
[TABLE]
Every (anti-)selfdual 2-form on the four dimensional Kähler base space can be written in terms of a 1-form living on the 3-dimensional space as
[TABLE]
The 2-forms we consider here are also -independent and so will the components of the corresponding 1-forms be. Thus, we introduce the -independent 3-dimensional 1-forms , , defined by
[TABLE]
Comparing the expression of with Eq. (35) and those of and with Eq. (17) we conclude that
[TABLE]
Requiring the closure of the 2-forms one gets
[TABLE]
which means that, locally,
[TABLE]
for some functions .
From the same condition, using Eq. (40) and the definition of the operator in that equation, one also gets
[TABLE]
Using Eq. (52) and its full contraction with one finds
[TABLE]
where an integration constant reflecting the possibility of adding to the solutions of eq. (61) solutions of the homogeneous equation has been set to zero without loss of generality, since from (60) it is clear that the ’s are defined up to a constant times . Using these relations, Eq. (61) contracted with is automatically satisfied, leaving independent equations.
It is convenient to rewrite as
[TABLE]
in terms of which
[TABLE]
From Eqs. (58) and (60) we find that
[TABLE]
and, then, from Eq. (64) we find that
[TABLE]
Using either of the last two equations in Eq. (64) one gets an equation for :
[TABLE]
Before calculating its integrability condition it is convenient to make a change of variables (identical to the one made in the ungauged case) to (partially) “symplectic-diagonalize” the right-hand side. Thus, we define and through
[TABLE]
Substituting these two expressions into Eq. (67) and using the relation between the 1-form and the functions and , Eqs. (39), the equation for takes the form111111We have left one in order to get a more compact expression.
[TABLE]
and its integrability equation is just121212One has .
[TABLE]
This equation can be simplified by using the equations satisfied by the functions and (40) and (61), respectively. We postpone doing this until we derive the equation for the functions , which follows from Eq. (37). First of all, observe that, with our choice of complex structure Eq. (44)
[TABLE]
On the other hand, we have
[TABLE]
and, using all these partial results into Eq. (37), and (not everywhere, for the sake of simplicity) the new variables Eqs. (68), we arrive at
[TABLE]
We can now use the relation between the 3-dimensional Laplacian and the operator and the equations for the functions and (40) and (61)
[TABLE]
and the equation for becomes
[TABLE]
This equation, once substituted in Eq. (70), gives
[TABLE]
To summarize, to find a solution one would have to solve equations (40), (61), (75) and (76), with and given by (68), for the functions , , , , and while imposing the constraints (57) and (62). This is still a very difficult problem, in particular because the constraint (57) involves the symmetric tensor with raised indices, which in general is not constant and cannot be written in a simple way in terms of, for instance, the functions .
To simplify the task one could assume that is constant, as is the case for several interesting models, in which case (57) and (68) allow to write in terms of , and . One could then proceed as follows: first choose two functions and solving equation (40), which amounts to choosing a base space, and subsequently solve the system of second order equations given by (61), (75) and (76) for , and , subject to the algebraic constraints (62).
Once all these functions are known, eq. (68) gives and , equations (39) and (67) can be integrated to give respectively and , is given by (63) and can be obtained from the functions using the special geometric constraint . At this point one has all the ingredients to write explicitly the metric (21), the scalar fields (25) and the gauge field strengths (24), using equations (54), (55) and (60).

It is possible to choose without loss of generality and
[TABLE]
Equation (39) then determines up to a closed 1-form,
[TABLE]
We now focus our attention on special geometric models for which the totally symmetric tensor with raised indices is constant.141414This is the case for instance when the scalar manifold is a symmetric space. Comparing the expression for in (82) with the one in (57) it seems a natural choice to introduce first order polynomials in , , such that
[TABLE]
with eq. (82) implying the constraints
[TABLE]
One can then, after computing the functions from the definition (68), use equation (75) to obtain an expression for . Since the expression must be the same for each of the equations (one for each value of ), the following proportionality conditions must be met:
[TABLE]
After this, all that remains to do is to substitute in eq. (76) (we also assume for simplicity ) and solve the resulting algebraic equation.
In order to find explicit solutions we will consider a specific model, namely the ST model defined by
[TABLE]
where , is the Minkowski -dimensional metric, and the other components of vanish. This model reduces to pure supergravity for and , and includes as a special case the STU model for . In what follows -type indices will be raised and lowered with and their contraction will be denoted by a dot (e.g. ). The constraints (88) become

We are interested in particular in asymptotically anti-de Sitter solutions. Given that the line element of AdS5 (with radius ) can be written in standard supersymmetric form as Chimento:2016mmd

one expects that for such solutions as tends to a constant and diverges like . These conditions translate to

excluding all the solutions above except the first six for arbitrary gauging. Out of these, however, only the first two are actually asymptotically AdS, at least locally, since in the other cases does not present the correct behavior, being proportional to (one can also check that their scalar curvature does not tend to a constant as ). In the following we will analyze some properties of these two cases.
4.1 Case 1

[TABLE]
Pure supergravity is recovered by choosing , and . With this choice one recovers the class of asymptotically AdS solutions of minimal gauged , supergravity found in Chimento:2016mmd .
For each value of the solutions are determined by parameters, , and . The metric however only depends on the ’s through the combinations and , so it is always determined by four parameters, independently of the number of vector multiplets .
4.1.1 Supersymmetric black holes
If an event horizon exists, it must be situated in , where and the supersymmetric Killing vector becomes null. Since , and only depend on , it is possible to perform a coordinate change such that
[TABLE]
after which the metric takes the form
[TABLE]
The combination tends to a constant in the limit , so the hypersurface is null, and is thus a Killing horizon, if goes to zero. The only possibility to satisfy this condition without giving rise to singularities is to take the scaling limit
[TABLE]
in which case the functions that determine the metric become
[TABLE]
For these are the supersymmetric black holes of Gutowski:2004yv with the choice (90), while for and one gets a generalization of the black holes with non-compact horizon found in Chimento:2016mmd for pure gauged supergravity.
For them to be regular, any curvature singularity should lie behind the horizon . Since the curvature scalars diverge when vanishes, then the zeroes of (116) must be negative, which translates to the conditions
[TABLE]
and either
[TABLE]
in which case there is only one real root, or
[TABLE]
in which case all roots are negative. Further constraints on the parameters come from the requirement
[TABLE]
that also implies .
The near horizon geometries of these black holes are themselves supersymmetric solutions and are included in the class of solutions we presented. They can be obtained from equations (96), (97) and (100) by taking the limit (115) and choosing . They are analogous to the three near horizon geometries obtained in Gutowski:2004ez for pure supergravity, in particular one can easily see from (114) that dimensional reduction along gives the geometries AdS, AdS or AdS, and that the horizon geometry is given by a homogeneous Riemannian metric on the group manifolds SU(2) (in which case the metric is that of a squashed ), SL() or respectively for , or [math]. The entropy for the compact case was computed in Gutowski:2004yv .
4.1.2 Conserved charges
For the class of solutions we presented is asymptotically globally AdS5 according to the definition given by Ashtekar and Das in Ashtekar:1999jx .171717See Chimento:2016mmd for a discussion of the asymptotics of a similar class of solutions in pure gauged supergravity. It is then possible to use the prescription in the same paper to compute the AD mass and angular momenta.
The mass is the conserved charge associated with the timelike Killing vector field
[TABLE]
This is the correct vector rather than the one associated with supersymmetry, since in coordinates adapted to the metric of AdS5, and in particular the metric on the conformal boundary, is written in static form. The value of the mass is
[TABLE]
Before computing the angular momenta, we perform the coordinate change
[TABLE]
so that
[TABLE]
The angular momenta are the conserved charges associated with the Killing vectors and . They are
[TABLE]
The electric charges, defined by
[TABLE]
are
[TABLE]
It is straightforward to verify that the following BPS condition is satisfied for all values of the parameters:
[TABLE]
where we have defined
[TABLE]
4.1.3 Static solutions
With the choice the functions and can be expressed in a simple way in terms of ,
[TABLE]
with given by
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
and the ’s, that for are the electric charges (130) and (131), are
[TABLE]
The gauge potentials and scalar fields can also be written in a simple way in terms of the functions ,
[TABLE]
For it is possible to remove from the metric the cross term proportional to by performing a simple shift in the coordinate, , and rewrite the solutions as
[TABLE]
Note that these coordinates are static for but not for , since in that case the time coordinate is actually , while is spatial. However the metric can still be rewritten in static form making first the coordinate change
[TABLE]
so that
[TABLE]
followed by a second change,
[TABLE]
after which it takes the form
[TABLE]
For one can see that substituting the chosen value of in (128) the angular momentum vanishes as expected. In this case the three-dimensional part of the metric contained in the square brackets is just the metric of a 3-sphere, with the coordinate change
[TABLE]
one has
[TABLE]
This solution was first found in Behrndt:1998ns , and can be seen as a generalization in the presence of vector multiplets of the BPS limit of the Reissner-Nördstrom-AdS5 black hole, to which it reduces in the pure supergravity case.
For it is not possible to eliminate the cross term in a simple way, and the metric is
[TABLE]
In the pure supergravity case this reduces to a metric without free parameters and having constant curvature scalars Chimento:2016mmd . Here this is not true in general, and only happens if
[TABLE]
in which case the metric is the same as in the pure supergravity case, but it is still possible to have independent vector fields and non-trivial scalar fields.
4.2 Case 2
The solutions with
[TABLE]
are almost identical to the black hole limit of the ones in Subsection 4.1, given in equations (116), (117) and (118), with the additional constraint . However there is an additional term in the 4-dimensional gauge potentials proportional to the constants , which were zero in the aforementioned limit. These constants are not completely arbitrary, being constrained by the relations .
After the rescaling (101) the functions determining the metric are
[TABLE]
while the scalars are
[TABLE]
and the gauge potentials are of the form (108), with
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
For , the mass, angular momenta and electric charges are
[TABLE]
Keeping into account the constraints to which the constants and are subject, it is easy to check that the relation (132) is satisfied.
5 Conclusions
In this paper we have adapted the equations that determine the timelike supersymmetric solutions of , Abelian gauged supergravity coupled to vector multiplets to the assumption that the Kähler base space admits a holomorphic isometry. While the resulting system of equations is much more involved than in the pure supergravity case, we were able, thanks in part to the experience gained in this latter case, to obtain several supersymmetric solutions. Of these, the more interesting ones are three classes (for ) of superficially asymptotically-AdS (globally asymptotically-AdS for ) solutions, which are a direct generalization of the similar solutions found for pure supergravity in Chimento:2016mmd , and which include various already known solutions.
It is worth noting that the special geometric model ST considered here admits as a special case the so-called U(1)3 model, which is just the STU model with equal gauging parameters . This means that in this particular subcase our solutions can be oxidized to type-IIB supergravity as described in Cvetic:1999xp .
The solutions constructed here only have one independent angular momentum, however there are in the literature examples of supersymmetric black holes with two independent angular momenta in , Abelian gauged supergravity, both without and with vector multiplets Chong:2005hr ; Kunduri:2006ek . It would be interesting to study whether less restrictive assumptions than those made in this paper could lead to solutions generalizing these black holes. Another possible extension of our work would be to consider more general gaugings, for instance a combination of the Abelian Fayet-Iliopoulos gauging considered here and non-Abelian gaugings of the scalar manifold isometries. Work along these lines is in progress future_work .
