Stable p-branes in Chern-Simons AdS supergravities

We construct static codimension-two branes in any odd dimension D, with a negative cosmological constant, and show that they are exact solutions of Chern-Simons (super)gravity theory for (super)AdSD coupled to external sources. The stability of these solutions is analyzed by counting the number of p...

description We construct static codimension-two branes in any odd dimension D, with a negative cosmological constant, and show that they are exact solutions of Chern-Simons (super)gravity theory for (super)AdSD coupled to external sources.
