We report on joint work in progress with George Papadopoulos aimed at classifying the maximally supersymmetric solutions of the ten- and eleven-dimensional supergravity theories with 32 supercharges.

We find that the AdS solutions, the Hpp-waves and the flat space solutions exhaust them.

Symmetric self-dual Lie algebras have been studied by Medina and Revoy, who have proven a very useful theorem about their structure. In this paper we prove a refinement of their theorem which has wide applicability in Conformal Field Theory, where symmetric self-dual Lie algebras start to play an important role due to the fact that they are precisely the Lie algebras which admit a Sugawara construction. We also prove a few corollaries which are important in Conformal Field Theory. †
