Towards the solution to the giant graviton puzzle (2005)
Journal Article
Bena, I., & Smith, D. J. (2005). Towards the solution to the giant graviton puzzle. Physical Review D, Particles and fields, 71(2), https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.71.025005

In this paper we present several ideas toward the solution to the giant graviton puzzle-the apparent multiplicity of supergravity states dual to field theory chiral primary operators. We use the fact that, for certain ranges of the angular momentum,... Read More about Towards the solution to the giant graviton puzzle.

Type IIB Killing spinors and calibrations (2004)
Journal Article
Hackett-Jones, E. J., & Smith, D. J. (2004). Type IIB Killing spinors and calibrations. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2004(11), https://doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/2004/11/029

In this paper we derive the full set of differential equations and some algebraic relations for p-forms constructed from type IIB Killing spinors. These equations are valid for the most general type IIB supersymmetric backgrounds which have a non-zer... Read More about Type IIB Killing spinors and calibrations.

On Gauss-Bonnet black hole entropy (2004)
Journal Article
Clunan, T., Ross, S. F., & Smith, D. J. (2004). On Gauss-Bonnet black hole entropy. Classical and Quantum Gravity, 21(14), 3447-3458. https://doi.org/10.1088/0264-9381/21/14/009

We investigate the entropy of black holes in Gauss-Bonnet and Lovelock gravity using the Noether charge approach, in which the entropy is given as the integral of a suitable (n - 2) form charge over the event horizon. We compare the results to those... Read More about On Gauss-Bonnet black hole entropy.

Intersecting brane solutions in string and M-theory (2003)
Journal Article
Smith, D. J. (2003). Intersecting brane solutions in string and M-theory. Classical and Quantum Gravity, 20, 233-300. https://doi.org/10.1088/0264-9381/20/9/203

We review various aspects of configurations of intersecting branes, including the conditions for preservation of supersymmetry. In particular, we discuss the projection conditions on the Killing spinors for given brane configurations and the relation... Read More about Intersecting brane solutions in string and M-theory.

N=1 M5-brane geometries (2001)
Journal Article
Brinne, B., Fayyazuddin, A., Husain, T., & Smith, D. J. (2001). N=1 M5-brane geometries. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2001(03), https://doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/2001/03/052

We describe how to construct solutions to eleven-dimensional supergravity corresponding to M5-branes wrapped on holomorphic 2-cycles embedded in 3. These solutions preserve = 1 supersymmetry in four dimensions. In the near-horizon limit they are expe... Read More about N=1 M5-brane geometries.
