Intersections involving waves and monopoles in eleven dimensions

E. Bergshoeff, M. de Roo, E. Eyras, B. Janssen, J. P. van der Schaar

Abstract

We consider intersections in eleven dimensions involving Kaluza-Klein monopoles and Brinkmann waves. Besides these purely gravitational configurations we also construct solutions to the equations of motion that involve additional M2- and M5-branes. The maximal number of independent objects in these intersections is nine, and such maximal configurations, when reduced to two dimensions, give rise to a 0-brane solution with dilaton coupling a=-4/9.
