Anisotropic domain walls

Abstract

We find an anisotropic, non-supersymmetric generalization of the extreme supersymmetric domain walls of simple non-dilatonic supergravity theory. As opposed to the isotropic non- and ultra-extreme domain walls, the anisotropic non-extreme wall has the \emph{same} spatial topology as the extreme wall. The solution has naked singularities which vanish in the extreme limit. Since the Hawking temperature on the two sides is different, the generic solution is unstable to Hawking decay.
