Charged configurations in (A)dS spaces

Abstract We construct new backgrounds of d -dimensional gravity with a negative cosmological constant coupled to a m -form field strength. We find a class of magnetically charged anti-de Sitter black holes with m -dimensional Einstein horizon of positive, zero or negative curvature. We also construct a new magnetic co-dimension four brane for the case of m =3. This brane obeys a charge quantization condition of the form q ∼ L 2 where q is the magnetic 3-form charge and L is the AdS radius. In addition, we work out some time-dependent solutions.
