Abstract

We study geodesically complete, singularity free space-times induced by planar domain walls interpolating between supersymmetric Minkowski (M₄) and anti-de Sitter (AdS₄) space-times. A geodesically complete space-time with [without] closed timelike curves includes a finite [infinite] number of semi-infinite M₄ regions, separated by a region of AdS₄. The space-times are nonsingular and exhibit Cauchy horizons with zero Hawking temperature and vanishing entropy.
