Supergravity from Dimensional Reduction
We perform a generalised Scherk-Schwarz reduction of the effective action of the het-erotic string on T 6 to obtain a massive N = 4 supergravity theory in four dimensions. The local symmetry-group of the resulting d = 4 theory includes a Heisenberg group, which is a subgroup of the global O(6, 6 + n) obtained in the standard reduction. We show explicitly that the same theory can be obtained by ...

متن کاملConsistent dimensional reduction of five-dimensional off-shell supergravity
There are some points to notice in the dimensional reduction of the offshell supergravity. We discuss a consistent way of the dimensional reduction of five-dimensional off-shell supergravity compactified on S/Z2. There are two approaches to the four-dimensional effective action, which are complementary to each other. Their essential difference is the treatment of the compensator and the radion ...
متن کاملSupergravity duals of supersymmetric four dimensional gauge theories
This article contains an overview of some recent attempts at understanding supergravity and string duals of four dimensional gauge theories using the AdS/CFT correspondence. We discuss the general philosophy underlying the various ways to realize Super YangMills theories in terms of systems of branes. We then review some of the existing duals for N = 2 and N = 1 theories. We also discuss differ...
متن کاملLessons from the Landscape of Six - dimensional Supergravity Theories
Comparing the set of supergravity theories allowed by low-energy consistency conditions with the set of string vacua provides useful insights into quantum gravity and string theory. In fact, such a "landscape analysis" for ten-dimensional supergravity theories was at the core of the exciting series of developments that is now referred to as the first superstring revolution. In this thesis, we d...
