Consistent truncations in higher derivative supergravity

High Energy Physics - Theory 2023-09-22 v3

Abstract

We consider the torus reduction of heterotic supergravity in the presence of four-derivative corrections. In particular, the reduction on TnT^n generically leads to a half-maximal supergravity coupled to nn vector multiplets, and we show that it is consistent to truncate out said vector multiplets. This is done by the analysis of both the bosonic equations of motion and the Killing spinor equations. As an application of the consistent truncation, we examine the four-derivative corrected BPS black string that reduces to a black hole in minimal nine-dimensional supergravity.
