Abstract

We show how to construct seven-dimensional half-maximally supersymmetric consistent truncations of 11-/10-dimensional SUGRA using SL(5)\mathrm{SL}(5) exceptional field theory. Such truncations are defined on generalised SU(2)\mathrm{SU}(2)-structure manifolds and give rise to seven-dimensional half-maximal gauged supergravities coupled to nn vector multiplets and thus with scalar coset space R+×O(3,n)/O(3)×O(n)\mathbb{R}^+ \times \mathrm{O}(3,n)/\mathrm{O}(3)\times\mathrm{O}(n). The consistency conditions for the truncation can be written in terms of the generalised Lie derivative and take a simple geometric form. We show that after imposing certain "doublet" and "closure" conditions, the embedding tensor of the gauged supergravity is given by the intrinsic torsion of generalised SU(2)\mathrm{SU}(2)-connections and automatically satisfies the linear constraint of seven-dimensional half-maximal gauged supergravities, as well as the quadratic constraint when the section condition is satisfied.
