De-singularization by rotation
Juan Maldacena, Liat Maoz
TL;DR
This paper demonstrates that adding angular momentum to certain singular BPS supergravity solutions removes their singularities, resulting in smooth geometries that include global AdS3 as the near horizon limit, advancing understanding of BPS brane systems.
Contribution
It introduces a method to desingularize BPS supergravity solutions by incorporating angular momentum, enabling the construction of smooth geometries with global AdS3 near horizons.
Findings
Singular solutions become smooth with angular momentum.
Global AdS3 geometry is realized as a near horizon limit.
Provides new insights into BPS brane configurations.
Abstract
We consider certain BPS supergravity solutions of string theory which have singularities and we show that the singularity goes away when we add angular momentum. These smooth solutions enable us to obtain {\it global} as the near horizon geometry of a BPS brane system in an asymptotically flat space.
