Reducing democratic type II supergravity on SU(3)×SU(3) structures

چکیده

Type II supergravity on backgrounds admitting SU(3)×SU(3) structure and general fluxes is considered. Using the generalized geometry formalism, we study dimensional reductions leading toN = 2 gauged supergravity in four dimensions, possibly with tensor multiplets. In particular, a geometric formula for the full N = 2 scalar potential is given. Then we implement a truncation ansatz, and derive the complete N = 2 bosonic action. While the NSNS contribution is obtained via a direct dimensional reduction, the contribution of the RR sector is computed starting from the democratic formulation and demanding consistency with the reduced equations of motion. ∗ unité mixte du CNRS et de l’École Normale Supérieure associée à l’UPMC Univ.

General Type IIB Fluxes with SU(3) Structures

A supersymmetric vacuum has to obey a set of constraints on fluxes as well as first order differential equations defined by the G-structures of the internal manifold. We solve these equations for type IIB supergravity with SU(3) structures. The 6-dimensional internal manifold has to be complex, the axion/dilaton is in general non-holomorphic and a cosmological constant is only possible if the S...

Notes on SU(3) Structures in Type IIB Supergravity

We study solutions of type IIB supergravity with an SU(3) structure group and four dimensional Poincaré invariance and present relations among the bosonic fields which follow from the supersymmetry variations. We make explicit some results which also follow from the more general case of an SU(2) structure and give some short comments applicable to general supersymmetric solutions. We also provi...

Massive Type IIA String Theory

We study conditions on general fluxes of massive Type IIA supergravity that lead to four-dimensional backgrounds with N = 1 supersymmetry. We derive these conditions in the case of SU(3)as well as SU(2)-structures. SU(3)-structures imply that the internal space is constrained to be a nearly Kähler manifold with all the turned on fluxes, and the negative cosmological constant proportional to the...

Reducing the Heterotic Supergravity on nearly-Kähler coset spaces

We study the dimensional reduction of the N = 1, ten-dimensional Heterotic Supergravity to four dimensions, at leading order in α′, when the internal space is a coset manifold. Then we apply the formalism using as internal manifolds all possible six-dimensional nonsymmetric coset spaces, namely G2/SU(3), Sp4/(SU(2)× U(1))non−max and SU(3)/U(1)× U(1), which moreover are nearly-Kähler manifolds a...

Generalised Geometries, Constrained Critical Points and Ramond–Ramond Fields

We describe the geometry of type II string compactifications to 6– and 7–dimensional backgrounds with Ramond–Ramond–fields in terms of principal fibre bundle as generalised SU(3)– and G2– structures. We endow these structures with an integrability condition which can be characterised as a constrained critical point for the generalised Hitchin functional and provides a solution to the supersymme...
