Supergravity from Dimensional Reduction

چکیده
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 gauging this Heisenberg group in d = 4, N = 4 supergravity.

Klein Reduction
We obtain new results for consistent braneworld Kaluza-Klein reductions, showing how we can derive four-dimensional N = 2 gauged supergravity " localised on the AdS 4 brane " as an exact embedding in five-dimensional N = 4 gauged supergravity. Similarly, we obtain five-dimensional N = 2 gauged supergravity localised on an AdS 5 brane as a consistent Kaluza-Klein reduction from six-dimensional N...

متن کاملSupergravity and Brane Solutions
The U(1) gauged version of the Strominger-Vafa five dimensional N = 2 supergravity with one vector multiplet is obtained via dimensional reduction from the N = 1 ten dimensional supergavity. Using such explicit relation between the gauged supergravity theory and ten dimensional supergravity, all known solutions of the five dimensional theory can be lifted up to tendimensions. The eleven dimensi...
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 ...
