摘要
We present a menagerie of solutions to the vacuum Einstein equations in six, eight and ten dimensions. These solutions describe spacetimes which are either locally asymptotically AdS or locally asymptotically flat, and which have nontrivial topology. We discuss the global structure of these solutions, and their relevance within the context of M-theory.
