Abstract

We demonstrate that warped Minkowski space backgrounds, Rn1,1×wMdn\mathbb{R}^{n-1,1}\times_w M^{d-n}, n3n\geq3, that preserve strictly more than 16 supersymmetries in d=11d=11 and type II d=10d=10 supergravities and with fields which may not be smooth everywhere are locally isometric to the Rd1,1\mathbb{R}^{d-1,1} Minkowski vacuum. In particular, all such flux compactification vacua of these theories have the same local geometry as the maximally supersymmetric vacuum Rn1,1×Tdn\mathbb{R}^{n-1,1}\times T^{d-n}.
