Generalized dimensional reduction of supergravity with eight supercharges

TL;DR

This paper explores the structure of four- and five-dimensional supergravity theories derived from higher dimensions with eight supercharges, linking Scherk-Schwarz reduction to specific N=2 no-scale gauged supergravities.

Contribution

It introduces a generalized dimensional reduction framework that connects Scherk-Schwarz reduction to a class of N=2 no-scale gauged supergravities in lower dimensions.

Findings

Established a relation between Scherk-Schwarz reduction and N=2 no-scale supergravities.

Provided a unified description of supergravity theories with eight supercharges.

Enhanced understanding of dimensional reduction mechanisms in supergravity theories.

Abstract

We describe some recent investigation about the structure of generic D=4,5 theories obtained by generalized dimensional reduction of D=5,6 theories with eight supercharges. We relate the Scherk-Schwarz reduction to a special class of N=2 no-scale gauged supergravities.
