Abstract
We describe some single-sided BPS domain wall configurations in M-theory. T hese are smooth non-singular resolutions of Calabi-Yau orbifolds obtained b y identifying the two sides of the wall under reflection. They may thus be thought of as domain walls at the end of the universe. We also describe rel ated domain wall type solutions with a negative cosmological constant.
