A New Massive Type IIA Supergravity from Compactification
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the most general form for eleven dimensional supersymmetry compatible with on-shell superfields. This allows for the introduction of a conformal Spin(1, 10) connection. In eleven dimensional Minkowski space this modification is trivial and can be removed by a field redefinition, however, upon compactifica-tion on S 1 it is possible to introduce a non-trivial 'Wilson line'. The resulting ten dimensional supergravity has massive 1-form and 3-form potentials and a cosmo-logical constant. This theory does not possess a supersymmetric eightbrane soliton but it does admit a supersymmetric non-static cosmological solution.

Massive Type IIA Theory on K 3 1
In this paper we study K3 compactification of ten-dimensional massive type IIA theory with all possible Ramond-Ramond background fluxes turned on. The resulting six-dimensional theory is a new massive (gauged) supergravity with an action that is manifestly invariant under an O(4, 20)/O(4) × O(20) duality symmetry. We discover that this six-dimensional theory interpolates between vacua of ten-di...

متن کاملMassive IIA String Theory and Matrix Theory Compactification
We propose a Matrix Theory approach to Romans’ massive Type IIA supergravity. It is obtained by applying the procedure of Matrix Theory compactifications to Hull’s proposal of the Massive Type IIA String Theory as M-Theory on a twisted torus. The resulting Matrix Theory is a super-Yang Mills theory on large N three-branes with a space dependent non-commutativity parameter, which is also indepen...
متن کاملSupersymmetry of Massive D = 9 Supergravity
By applying generalized dimensional reduction on the type IIB supersymmetry variations, we derive the supersymmetry variations for the massive 9-dimensional supergravity. We use these variations and the ones for massive type IIA to derive the supersymmetry transformation of the gravitino for the proposed massive 11-dimensional supergravity. The prime example of massive supergravities must be ma...
متن کاملDuality symmetric massive type II theories in D = 8 and D = 6 ∗
We study T 2 compactification of massive type IIA supergravity in presence of possible Ramond-Ramond (RR) background fluxes. The resulting theory in D = 8 is shown to possess full SL(2, R) × SL(2, R) T-duality symmetry similar to the massless case. It is shown that elements of duality symmetry interpolate between massive type IIA compactified on T 2 and ordinary type IIA compactified on T 2 wit...
متن کاملGalilean anti - de - Sitter spacetime in Romans theory
The Romans type IIA theory is the only known example of 10-dimensional maximal supergravity where (tensor) fields are explicitly massive. We provide an example of a non-relativistic anti-de Sitter NRadS 4 × S 6 background as a solution in massive type IIA. A compactification of which on S 6 gives immediately the prototype NRadS background in D = 4 which is proposed to be dual to 'cold atoms' or...
