Domain wall/cosmology correspondence in [formula omitted] geometries

Abstract

We investigate the ten-dimensional origin of six-dimensional F4 variant supergravity with supersymmetric de Sitter background. We address first the issue of spontaneous compactification, showing that it consists of a warped compactification on a four sphere of a variant massive type IIA supergravity. Moreover we illustrate how the known D4–D8 brane solution, whose near horizon geometry yields AdS6⊗S4, is accordingly modified to a system including Euclidean branes. Finally, we discuss the relation between this latter solution and the D4–D8 brane system, showing how it represents a generalisation of the DW/cosmology correspondence.
