Couch-Torrence conformal inversion, supersymmetry and conserved charges for D3-branes

An asymptotically flat spacetime in D=4 D = 4 can be mapped via Couch-Torrence conformal inversion to the geometry around an extremal non-expanding and non-rotating horizon. At the linearized level, an infinite tower of conserved Newman-Penrose charges can be found at null-infinity, while infinitely many Aretakis charges are conserved in the near-horizon. Couch-Torrence inversion allows one to establish a matching between the two sets of asymptotic charges. In this work we construct the Newman-Penrose and Aretakis scalar charges in higher-dimensional geometries of D3-branes in D=10 D = 10 and D3-brane bound states in D=4 D = 4 and D=5 D = 5 and establish a precise matching between them through the inversion. By exploiting the residual unbroken supersymmetry of Type-IIB supergravity, we demonstrate that it is possible to relate scalar (complex dilaton) charges to spinor and tensor charges. In particular, we determine infinite towers of conserved asymptotic spinorial charges associated with the dilatino fluctuations, and determine the map through inversion.

Abstract

An asymptotically flat spacetime in D=4 D = 4 can be mapped via Couch-Torrence conformal inversion to the geometry around an extremal non-expanding and non-rotating horizon. At the linearized level, an infinite tower of conserved Newman-Penrose charges can be found at null-infinity, while infinitely many Aretakis charges are conserved in the near-horizon. Couch-Torrence inversion allows one to establish a matching between the two sets of asymptotic charges. In this work we construct the Newman-Penrose and Aretakis scalar charges in higher-dimensional geometries of D3-branes in D=10 D = 10 and D3-brane bound states in D=4 D = 4 and D=5 D = 5 and establish a precise matching between them through the inversion. By exploiting the residual unbroken supersymmetry of Type-IIB supergravity, we demonstrate that it is possible to relate scalar (complex dilaton) charges to spinor and tensor charges. In particular, we determine infinite towers of conserved asymptotic spinorial charges associated with the dilatino fluctuations, and determine the map through inversion.
