Abstract: We study a one-parameter family of mathcalN=2 anti-de Sitter vacua with mU(1)2 symmetry of gauged four-dimensional maximal supergravity, with dyonic gauge group [mSO(6)imesmSO(1,1)]ltimesmathbbR12. These backgrounds are known to correspond to Type IIB S-fold solutions with internal manifold of topology S1imesS5. The family of AdS4 vacua is parametrized by a modulus chi. Although chi appears non-compact in the four-dimensional supergravity, we show that this is just an artefact of the four-dimensional description. We give the 10-dimensional geometric interpretation of the modulus and show that it actually has periodicity of frac2piT, which is the inverse radius of S1. We deduce this by providing the explicit D=10 uplift of the family of vacua as well as computing the entire modulus-dependent Kaluza-Klein spectrum as a function of chi. At the special values chi=0 and chi=fracpiT, the symmetry enhances according to mU(1)2ightarrowmU(2), giving rise however to inequivalent Kaluza-Klein spectra. At chi=fracpiT, this realizes a bosonic version of the "space invaders" scenario with additional massless vector fields arising from formerly massive fields at higher Kaluza-Klein levels.
