Abstract
We find an infinite class of non-supersymmetric multi-center solutions to the STU model in five-dimensional ungauged supergravity coupled to two vector multiplets. The solutions are obtained by solving a system of linear equations on a class of Ricci-scalar-flat Kähler manifolds studied by LeBrun. After imposing an additional U(1) isometry in the base, we solve the axisymmetric SU(∞) Toda equation and obtain explicit supergravity solutions containing arbitrary numbers of 2-cycles with cohomological fluxes of all three flavors. This improves upon a previous result where only two of the three fluxes were topologically non-trivial. Imposing regularity and absence of closed timelike curves, we obtain “bubble equations” highly reminiscent of those known in the supersymmetric case. Thus we extend much of the analysis done for BPS bubbling solutions to this new family of non-supersymmetric bubbling solutions.
