Description

Abstract: Five-dimensional supergravity presents a wealth of asymptotically flat supersymmetric solutions involving horizons with sphere, ring, or lens space topologies, as well as "bubbling" two-cycles. The talk will discuss how these solutions are related to saddles of the gravitational index.
