Adjoint orbits, generalised parallelisable spaces and consistent truncations
Abstract
The aim of this note is to present some new explicit examples of -generalised Leibniz parallelisable spaces arising as the normal bundles of adjoint orbits of some semi-simple Lie group . Using this construction, an explicit expression for a generalised frame is given in the case when the orbits are regular, but subtleties arise when they become degenerate. In the case of regular orbits, the resulting space is a globally flat fiber bundle over which can be made compact, allowing for a generalised Scherk-Schwartz reduction. This means these spaces should admit consistent supergravity truncations. For degenerate orbits, the procedure hinges on the existence of a suitable metric, allowing for a consistent normalisation of the generalised frame.
