Type-IIB supersymmetric theories have an SL(2,Z) invariance, known as U-duality, which controls the non-perturbative behavior of the theory. Under SL(2,Z) the supercharges are doublets, implying that the bosonic charges would be singlets or…
We present the details of the recently constructed $E_{6(6)}$ covariant extension of 11-dimensional supergravity. This theory requires a 5+27 dimensional spacetime in which the `internal' coordinates transform in the $\bar{\bf 27}$ of…
We present a new gauging of maximal supergravity in five spacetime dimensions with gauge group containing ISO(5), involving the local scaling symmetry of the metric, and admitting a supersymmetric anti-de Sitter vacuum. We show this maximal…
We obtain new consistent Kaluza-Klein embeddings of the gauged supergravities with half of maximal supersymmetry in dimensions D=7, 6, 5 and 4. They take the form of warped embeddings in type IIA, type IIB, M-theory and type IIB…
We discuss consistent truncations of eleven-dimensional supergravity on a six-dimensional manifold $M$, preserving minimal $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetry in five dimensions. These are based on $G_S \subseteq USp(6)$ structures for the…
We present a new consistent truncation of $D=11$ supergravity to $D=4$ $\mathcal{N}=2$ minimal gauged supergravity, on the seven-dimensional internal Riemannian space corresponding to the most general class of $D=11$ solutions with an…
In the prototypical AdS$_5$/CFT$_4$ correspondence, the free energy of $\mathcal{N}=4$ SU$(N)$ super Yang-Mills theory is commonly reproduced from the Euclidean on-shell action of five-dimensional gauged supergravity -- a consistent…
We use $E_{8(8)}$ Exceptional Field Theory to construct the consistent truncation of IIB supergravity on $S^3 \times S^3 \times S^1$ to maximal 3-dimensional ${\cal N}=16$ gauged supergravity containing the ${\cal N}=(4,4)$ AdS$_3$ vacuum.…
We first construct a consistent Kaluza-Klein reduction ansatz for type IIB theory compactified on Sasaki-Einstein manifolds Y^{p,q} with Freund-Rubin 5-form flux giving rise to minimal N=2 gauged supergravity in five dimensions. We then…
We study the general requirement for supersymmetric AdS$_6$ solutions in type IIB supergravity. We employ the Killing spinor technique and study the differential and algebraic relations among various Killing spinor bilinears to find the…
Eleven-dimensional supergravity reveals large exceptional symmetries upon reduction, in accordance with the U-duality groups of M-theory, but their higher-dimensional geometric origin has remained a mystery. In this letter, we show that…
The (4,0) supermultiplet in 6 dimensions contains a 4th rank tensor gauge field with the symmetries of the Riemann tensor and is superconformal, with 32+32 supersymmetries. Dimensional reduction on a circle gives the 5D N=8 supergravity…
Kaluza-Klein sphere reductions of supergravities that admit AdS x Sphere vacuum solutions are believed to be consistent. The examples include the S^4 and S^7 reductions of eleven-dimensional supergravity, and the S^5 reduction of…
We propose and study a supersymmetric version of the Janus domain wall solution of type IIB supergravity. Janus is dual to N=4 super Yang Mills theory with a coupling constant that jumps across an interface. While the interface in the Janus…
Motivated by recent interest in applications of the AdS/CFT correspondence to condensed matter applications involving fermions, we present the supersymmetric completion of the recent massive truncations of IIB supergravity on…
We construct type IIB supergravity duals of non-anticommutative deformed N = 4 SU(N) gauge theories. We consider in particular deformations preserving N = (1,0) and N = (1/2,0) supersymmetry. Such theories can be realised on N D3-branes in…
We consider the sector of N=8 five-dimensional gauged supergravity with non-trivial scalar fields in the coset space SL(6,R)/SO(6), plus the metric. We find that the most general supersymmetric solution is parametrized by six real moduli…
We construct Exceptional Field Theory for the group $SO(5,5)$ based on the extended (6+16)-dimensional spacetime, which after reduction gives the maximal $D=6$ supergravity. We present both a true action and a duality-invariant…
We study a deformation of the type IIB Maldacena-Nunez background which arises as the near-horizon limit of NS5 branes wrapped on a two-cycle. This background is dual to a "little string theory" compactified on a two-sphere, a theory which…
At the level of the bosonic fields, we construct consistent Kaluza--Klein reductions of D=11 supergravity on $\Sigma_3\times S^4$, where $\Sigma_3=H^3/\Gamma,S^3/\Gamma$ or $R^3/\Gamma$ where $\Gamma$ is a discrete group of isometries. The…
