abstract:

The study of supersymmetric solutions in supergravity have provided invaluable insight into quantum gravity via AdS/CFT correspondence. In this talk I present a new class of intriguing Kahler geometry which appears in the study of AdS solutions from D3 and M2-branes wrapped on 2-cycles. Solving the master equation, which has higher-order couplings in Ricci tensor, we obtain new AdS solutions.
