Type IIB flux vacua from G-theory II
Abstract
We find analytic solutions of type IIB supergravity on geometries that locally take the form with a generalised complex manifold. The solutions involve the metric, the dilaton, NSNS and RR flux potentials (oriented along the ) parametrised by functions varying only over . Under this assumption, the supersymmetry equations are solved using the formalism of pure spinors in terms of a finite number of holomorphic functions. Alternatively, the solutions can be viewed as vacua of maximally supersymmetric supergravity in six dimensions with a set of scalar fields varying holomorphically over . For a class of solutions characterised by up to five holomorphic functions, we outline how the local solutions can be completed to four-dimensional flux vacua of type IIB theory. A detailed study of this global completion for solutions with two holomorphic functions has been carried out in the companion paper [1]. The fluxes of the global solutions are, as in F-theory, entirely codified in the geometry of an auxiliary fibration over . The results provide a geometric construction of fluxes in F-theory.
