TL;DR
This paper reviews a duality method transforming matter-coupled N=1 supergravity into formulations with gauge three-forms, illustrating it through examples like the Polonyi model and Type IIA string compactifications with fluxes.
Contribution
It introduces a duality procedure replacing auxiliary fields with gauge three-forms in supergravity, applied to models and string compactifications.
Findings
Dual formulations relate supergravity to gauge three-forms.
Application to Polonyi model demonstrates the dualization process.
Effective theories from Type IIA flux compactifications are dualized.
Abstract
We review a duality procedure that relates standard matter-coupled N=1 supergravity to dual formulations in which auxiliary fields are replaced by field-strengths of gauge three-forms. As examples, we consider the dualization of the rigid Polonyi model and of effective field theories associated with Type IIA string compactifications with fluxes in supergravity.
