We consider two-dimensional supergravity theories with four supercharges constructed from compactification of Type II string theory on a generic Calabi-Yau four-fold. In Type IIA and Type IIB cases, respectively, new superspace formulations…
Several recent papers have made considerable progress in proving the existence of remarkable consistent Kaluza-Klein sphere reductions of D=10 and D=11 supergravities, to give gauged supergravities in lower dimensions. A proof of the…
Corrado, Pilch and Warner in 2001 have found the second 11-dimensional solution where the deformed geometry of S^7 in the lift contains S^2 x S^2. We identify the gauge dual of this background with the theory described by Franco, Klebanov…
We consider asymptotically AdS, non-extremal, charged and rotating black holes with rotation in a single 2-plane and two independent U(1) charge parameters. Using a common ansatz, solutions are found for 5-dimensional U(1)^3 gauged…
We study Kaluza-Klein modes of a d=7, N=2 vector multiplet in AdS_4 x S^3. Such modes arise in the context of AdS/CFT as dual objects of a class of gauge invariant operators in N=4 Chern-Simons theories. We confirm that the Kaluza-Klein…
We clarify the role of gauge invariance for the theory of an AdS4 brane embedded in AdS5. The presence of a nonvanishing mass parameter even for the lightest KK mode of the graviton indicates that all of the spin-2 modes propagate five…
We find a family of complete non-linear Kaluza-Kein reduction ansatze from type IIB supergravity to Romans' 6D $F(4)$ gauged supergravity in the bosonic sector. The reduction is over a sphere $S^2$ and a Riemann surface $\Sigma$, and…
We consider supergravity in twelve dimension, whose dimensional reduction yields eleven-dimensional, IIA, and IIB supergravities. This also provides the effective field theory of F-theory. We must take one direction as a compact circle, so…
Taking into account the Green-Schwarz anomaly counterterm in R-symmetry gauged $N=(1,0)$ supergravity in six dimensions, and the associated modification in the Maxwell kinetic term and potential, we observe that the theory admits…
We present a new anomaly-free gauged N=1 supergravity model in six dimensions. The gauge group is E_7xG_2xU(1)_R, with all hyperinos transforming in the product representation {56,14). The theory admits monopole compactifications to…
Solutions of D=7 maximal gauged supergravity are constructed with metrics that are a product of a n-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) space, with n=2,3,4,5, and certain Einstein manifolds. The gauge fields have the same form as in the…
We investigate how extra-dimensional dynamics influence the Higgs sector phenomenology by compactifying a Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM) coupled to 4D gravity on a circle $S^{1}$. The resulting effective potential includes tree-level 2HDM…
We construct the fermionic sector and supersymmetry transformation rules of a variant N=(1,1) supergravity theory obtained by generalized Kaluza-Klein reduction from seven dimensions. We show that this model admits both (Minkowski)_4 x S^2…
We calculate the dimensions of operators in three and six dimensional superconformal field theories by using the duality between these theories at large N and D=11 supergravity on $AdS_{4/7} \times S^{7/4}$. We find that for the duality…
The multicenter solutions of 4d ${\cal N}=2$ supergravity contain a subset of scaling solutions with vanishing total angular momentum. In a near limit those solutions are asymptotically locally AdS$_2\times$ S$^2$, but we show that a higher…
We construct consistent Kaluza--Klein reductions of D=11 supergravity to four dimensions using an arbitrary seven-dimensional Sasaki--Einstein manifold. At the level of bosonic fields, we extend the known reduction, which leads to minimal…
We discuss twisted states of AdS orbifolds which couple to N=2 chiral primary operators not invariant under exchange of the gauge factors. Kaluza-Klein reduction on the fixed circle gives the correct conformal dimensions of operators in the…
We compute the spin-2 Kaluza-Klein modes around a warped product of AdS_4 and a seven-ellipsoid. This background with global G_2 symmetry is related to a U(N) x U(N) N=1 superconformal Chern-Simons matter theory with sixth order…
Inspired by the general relation between the boundary global symmetry and the bulk gauge symmetry in AdS/CFT, we reformulate the $d+1$ dimensional AdS gravity theory as a $SO(2,d)$ gauge theory. In this formalism, the pull back of the bulk…
We use direct Kaluza-Klein reduction to calculate the spectrum of spin-2 modes around a warped product of AdS_4 and a certain squashed and stretched 7-sphere. The modes turn out to be polynomials in the four complex variables parameterizing…
