The object of the present paper is to study a perfect fluid K¨ahlerspacetime. A perfect fluid K¨ahler spacetime satisfying the Einstein field equation with a cosmological term has been studied and the existence of killingand conformal killing vectors have been discussed. Certain results related to sectional curvature for pseudo projectively flat perfect fluid K¨ahler spacetime have been obtained. Dust model for perfect fluid K¨ahler spacetime has also been studied.

Abstract We study two-dimensional weighted $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (2) supersymmetric ℂℙ models with the goal of exploring their infrared (IR) limit. 𝕎ℂℙ(N,$$ \tilde{N} $$ N ˜ ) are simplified versions of world-sheet theories on non-Abelian strings in four-dimensional $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 QCD. In the gauged linear sigma model (GLSM) formulation, 𝕎ℂℙ(N,$$ \tilde{N} $$ N ˜ ) has N charges +1 and $$ \tilde{N} $$ N ˜ charges −1 fields. As well-known, at $$ \tilde{N} $$ N ˜ = N this GLSM is conformal. Its target space is believed to be a non-compact Calabi-Yau manifold. We mostly focus on the N = 2 case, then the Calabi-Yau space is a conifold. On the other hand, in the non-linear sigma model (NLSM) formulation the model has ultra-violet logarithms and does not look conformal. Moreover, its metric is not Ricci-flat. We address this puzzle by studying the renormalization group (RG) flow of the model. We show that the metric of NLSM becomes Ricci-flat in the IR. Moreover, it tends to the known metric of the resolved conifold. We also study a close relative of the 𝕎ℂℙ model — the so called zn model — which in actuality represents the world sheet theory on a non-Abelian semilocal string and show that this zn model has similar RG properties.

Abstract In this work we study ten-dimensional solutions to type IIA string theory of the form AdS4 × X6 which contain orientifold planes and preserve $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 supersymmetry. In particular, we consider solutions which exhibit some key features of the four-dimensional DGKT proposal for compactifications on Calabi-Yau manifolds with fluxes, and in this sense may be considered their ten-dimensional uplifts. We focus on the supersymmetry equations and Bianchi identities, and find solutions to these that are valid at the two-derivative level and at first order in an expansion parameter which is related to the AdS cosmological constant. This family of solutions is such that the background metric is deformed from the Ricci-flat one to one exhibiting SU(3) × SU(3)-structure, and dilaton gradients and warp factors are induced.

Abstract We generalize a notion of ‘conserved’ charges given by Wald and Zoupas to the asymptotically de Sitter spacetimes. Surprisingly, our construction is less ambiguous than the one encountered in the asymptotically flat context. An expansion around exact solutions possessing Killing vectors provides their physical meaning. In particular, we discuss a question of how to define energy and angular momenta of gravitational waves propagating on Kottler and Carter backgrounds. We show that obtained expressions have a correct limit as Λ → 0. We also comment on the relation between this approach and the one based on the canonical phase space of initial data at ℐ+.

Motivated by the hindrance of defining metric tensors compatible with the underlying spinor structure, other than the ones obtained via a conformal transformation, we study how some geometric objects are affected by the action of a disformal transformation in the closest scenario possible: the disformal transformation in the direction of a null-like vector field. Subsequently, we analyze symmetry properties such as mutual geodesics and mutual Killing vectors, generalized Weyl transformations that leave the disformal relation invariant, and introduce the concept of disformal Killing vector fields. In most cases, we use the Schwarzschild metric, in the Kerr–Schild formulation, to verify our calculations and results. We also revisit the disformal operator using a Newman–Penrose basis to show that, in the null-like case, this operator is not diagonalizable.
