New compactifications of 11-dimensional supergravity

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Using canonical forms on S^7, viewed as an SU(2) bundle over S^4, we introduce consistent ansatze for the 4-form field strength of eleven-dimensional supergravity and rederive the known squashed, stretched, and the Englert solutions. Further, by rewriting the metric of S^7 as a U(1) bundle over CP^3, we present yet more general ansatze. As a result, we find a new compactifying solution of the type AdS_5 imes CP^3, where CP^3 is stretched along its S^2 fiber. We also find a new solution of AdS_2 imes H^2 imes S^7 type in Euclidean space.
