Abstract: | <p> We look for time-dependent solutions to a general class of supergravity models in an arbitrary amount of dimensions. Previously, many static solutions of these models have been found and studied, of which a subclass of these solutions support membrane-like configurations. While many properties of these solutions are known, their dynamics - and therefore stability - are not. We follow this motivation, and investigate the possibility of time dependent solutions that will also support this membrane configuration. Under various conditions, it turns out this is the case, bringing a better understanding to the stability of these branes. In addition, the form of the time dependence found suggest possible applications of supergravity to cosmological models.</p> |
