Abstract: We study Dgeq4-dimensional half-maximal flux backgrounds using exceptional field theory. We define the relevant generalised structures and also find the integrability conditions which give warped half-maximal mathrmMinkowskiD and mathrmAdSD vacua. We then show how to obtain consistent truncations of type II / 11-dimensional SUGRA which break half the supersymmetry. Such truncations can be defined on backgrounds admitting exceptional generalised mathrmSO(d1N) structures, where d=11D, and N is the number of vector multiplets obtained in the lower-dimensional theory. Our procedure yields the most general embedding tensors satisfying the linear constraint of half-maximal gauged SUGRA. We use this to prove that all Dgeq4 half-maximal warped mathrmAdSD and MinkowskiD vacua of type II / 11-dimensional SUGRA admit a consistent truncation keeping only the gravitational supermultiplet. We also show to obtain heterotic double field theory from exceptional field theory and comment on the M-theory / heterotic duality. In five dimensions, we find a new mathrmSO(5,N) double field theory with a (6+N)-dimensional extended space. Its section condition has one solution corresponding to 10-dimensional calN=1 supergravity and another yielding six-dimensional calN=left(2,0ight) SUGRA.
