Title: Classical stability of M/sup p/qr, Q/sup p/qr, and N/sup p/qr in d = 11 supergravity

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

We investigate the classical stability of Freund-Rubin--type solutions M/sup p/qr (SU(3) x SU(2) x U(1)/SU(2) x U(1) x U(1)), Q/sup p/qr (SU(2) x SU(2) x SU(2)/U(1) x U(1)), and N/sup p/qr (SU(3) x U(1)/U(1) x U(1)) against relative dilatations between the coset directions. It is shown that M/sup p/qr is stable only for (98/243)< or =p/sup 2//q/sup 2/< or =(6358/ 4563), Q/sup p/qr is stable only for a certain region of p/sup 2//r/sup 2/ and q/sup 2//r/sup 2/, while N/sup p/qr is stable for any p/sup 2//q/sup 2/ against these small fluctuations.
