We construct a consistent Kaluza-Klein reduction of $D=11$ supergravity on $\Sigma_2\times S^4$, where $\Sigma_2=S^2,\mathbb{R}^2$ or $H^2$, or a quotient thereof, at the level of the bosonic fields. The result is a gauged $N=4$, $D=5$…

The geometrization of the Electro-Weak Model is achieved in a 5-dimensional Riemann-Cartan framework. Matter spinorial fields are extended to 5 dimensions by the choice of a proper dependence on the extra-coordinate and of a normalization…
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…

The consistency of the embedding of four-dimensional SO(8) gauged N=8 supergravity into eleven-dimensional supergravity, where the internal directions are compactified on a seven-sphere, was established by de Wit and Nicolai in the 1980s.…
The SU(3)--invariant sector of maximal supergravity in four dimensions with an SO(8) gauging is uplifted to $D=11$ supergravity. In order to do this, the SU(3)--neutral sector of the tensor and duality hierarchies of the $D=4$ ${\cal N}=8$…
We address some issues related to the construction of general Kaluza-Klein (KK) ans\"atze for the compactification of a supergravity (sugra) theory on a sphere $S_m$. We first reproduce various ans\"atze for compactification to 7d from the…
We obtain D=4 de Sitter gravity coupled to SU(2) Yang-Mills gauge fields from an explicit and consistent truncation of D=11 supergravity via Kaluza-Klein dimensional reduction on a non-compact space. The ``internal'' space is a smooth…
We show that the D=6 SU(2) gauged supergravity of van Nieuwenhuizen et al, obtained by dimensional reduction of the D=7 topologically massive gauged supergravity and previously thought not to be dimensionally reducible, can be further…

We obtain a new gauged D=6, N=(1,1) pure supergravity by a generalised consistent Kaluza-Klein reduction of M-theory on K3 \times R. The reduction requires a conspiratory gauging of both the Cremmer-Julia type global (rigid) symmetry and…
We discuss the possible realisation in string/M theory of the recently discovered family of four-dimensional maximal $SO(8)$ gauged supergravities, and of an analogous family of seven-dimensional half-maximal $SO(4)$ gauged supergravities.…
Exact solutions of heterotic string theory corresponding to four-dimensional magnetic black holes in $N=4$ supergravity are described. The solutions describe the black holes in the throat limit, and consist of a tensor product of an $SU(2)$…
