BPS solution for eleven-dimensional supergravity with a conical defect configuration

In this work, we found the solution for the field equations of eleven-dimensional supergravity with a BPS conical topological defect configuration. We chose the solutions that corresponded to a M2-brane where the space-time presents the co-dimension two. The source of the topological defect is a sigma model where the brane tension is connected with the angular deficit. We analyzed the Killing spinor equations, a 3-form gauge potential and Einstein's equations, proving that it is possible to find a full solution for the system. We analyzed the near-horizon limit proving that it is possible to obtain an $AdS_4 \times S^1 \times \mathbb{E}^6 $ geometry for certain values of the brane tension. We also discussed some applications in the strong coupling theory for condensed matter systems.
