3D gauged supergravity from SU(2) reduction of $N=1$ 6D supergravity
Abstract
We obtain Yang-Mills gauged supergravity in three dimensions from group manifold reduction of (1,0) six dimensional supergravity coupled to an anti-symmetric tensor multiplet and gauge vector multiplets in the adjoint of . The reduced theory is consistently truncated to 3D supergravity coupled to bosonic and fermionic propagating degrees of freedom. This is in contrast to the reduction in which there are also massive vector fields. The scalar manifold is , and there is a gauge group. We then construct Chern-Simons three dimensional gauged supergravity with scalar manifold and explicitly show that this theory is on-shell equivalent to the Yang-Mills gauged supergravity theory obtained from the reduction, after integrating out the scalars and gauge fields corresponding to the translational symmetries .
