Supersymmetric, fermionic solutions in three-dimensional supergravity

Abstract: Building upon known supersymmetric backgrounds, we derive novel half-BPS fermionic solutions in three-dimensional supergravity. By virtue of an essential dependence on fermionic degrees of freedom, they possess no purely bosonic analogue. In the Anti de Sitter case this notably includes nonsingular solutions for which the corresponding Chern-Simons gauge field $\mathcal{A}=\omega\pm e/L$ vanishes, providing access to configurations which are ordinarily singular in pure gravity.
