Gauging of Flat Groups in Four Dimensional Supergravity
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that N = 8 spontaneously broken supergravity in four dimensions obtained by Scherk–Schwarz generalized dimensional reduction can be obtained from a pure four dimensional perspective by gauging a suitable electric subgroup of E7,7. Owing to the fact that there are non isomorphic choices of maximal electric subgroups of the U-duality group their gaugings give rise to inequivalent theories. This in particular shows that the Scherk–Schwarz gaugings do not fall in previous classifications of possible gauged N = 8 supergravities. Gauging of flat groups appear in many examples of string compactifications in presence of brane fluxes.

Off-shell dimensional reduction of 5D orbifold supergravity
We present a systematic way for deriving a four-dimensional (4D) effective action of the fivedimensional (5D) orbifold supergravity respecting the N = 1 off-shell structure. As an illustrating example, we derive a 4D effective theory of the 5D gauged supergravity with a universal hypermultiplet and generic gaugings, which includes the 5D heterotic M-theory and the supersymmetric Randall-Sundrum...
متن کاملBps Black Holes in N = 2 Five Dimensional Ads Supergravity
BPS black hole solutions of U(1) gauged five-dimensional supergravity are obtained by solving the Killing spinor equations. These extremal static black holes live in an asymptotic AdS5 space time. Unlike black holes in asymptotic flat space time none of them possess a regular horizon. We also calculate the influence, of a particular class of these solutions, on the Wilson loops calculation. beh...
متن کاملGauging the Full R - Symmetry Group in Five - dimensional , N = 2 Yang - Mills / Einstein / Tensor Supergravity 1
We show that certain five-dimensional, N = 2 Yang-Mills/Einstein supergravity theories admit the gauging of the full R-symmetry group, SU(2)R, of the underlying N = 2 Poincaré superalgebra. This generalizes the previously studied Abelian gaugings of U(1)R ⊂ SU(2)R, and completes the construction of the most general vector and tensor field coupled five-dimensional,N = 2 supergravity theories wit...
متن کاملModuli stabilization in 5D gauged supergravity with universal hypermultiplet and boundary superpotentials
We study a four-dimensional effective theory of the five-dimensional (5D) gauged supergravity with a universal hypermultiplet and perturbative superpotential terms at the orbifold fixed points. Among eight independent isometries of the scalar manifold, we focus on three directions for gauging by the graviphoton. The class of models we consider includes the 5D heterotic M-theory and the supersym...
متن کاملGauged 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 ...
