Abstract

We discuss consistent truncations of eleven-dimensional supergravity on a six-dimensional manifold MM, preserving minimal N=2\mathcal{N}=2 supersymmetry in five dimensions. These are based on GSUSp(6)G_S \subseteq USp(6) structures for the generalised E6(6)E_{6(6)} tangent bundle on MM, such that the intrinsic torsion is a constant GSG_S singlet. We spell out the algorithm defining the full bosonic truncation ansatz and then apply this formalism to consistent truncations that contain warped AdS5×wM_5 \times_{\rm w}M solutions arising from M5-branes wrapped on a Riemann surface. The generalised U(1)U(1) structure associated with the N=2\mathcal{N}=2 solution of Maldacena-Nu\~nez leads to five-dimensional supergravity with four vector multiplets, one hypermultiplet and SO(3)×U(1)×RSO(3)\times U(1)\times \mathbb{R} gauge group. The generalised structure associated with "BBBW" solutions yields two vector multiplets, one hypermultiplet and an abelian gauging. We argue that these are the most general consistent truncations on such backgrounds.
