Abstract

Abstract Only two kinds of compactification are known that lead to four-dimensional supersymmetric AdS vacua with moduli stabilisation and separation of scales at tree-level. The most studied ones are compactifications of massive IIA supergravity on SU(3) structures with smeared O6 planes, for which a general ten-dimensional expression for the solution in terms of the SU(3) structure was found. Less studied are compactifications of IIB supergravity with smeared O5/O7 planes. In this paper we derive a general ten-dimensional expression for the smeared O5/O7 solutions in terms of SU(2) structures. For a specific choice of orientifold projections, we recover the known examples and we also provide new explicit solutions.

Highlights

  • One of the ultimate goals of the research on flux compactifications is the construction of flux vacua that break supersymmetry in a solution with a small positive cosmological constant

  • The AdS solutions that are used for holography typically do not have scale separation and it is important to understand how holography works for AdS vacua with scale separation [3]

  • We give the supersymmetry conditions both in terms of the pure spinors defined on the internal manifold [16] and in terms of SU(2) torsion classes

Summary

Introduction

One of the ultimate goals of the research on flux compactifications is the construction of flux vacua that break supersymmetry in a solution with a small positive cosmological constant. For compactifications to four dimensions, this formalism allows to reduce the study of ten-dimensional supersymmetric backgrounds to the analysis of a set of equations involving only the components of the fields on the internal manifold In this case, it is easy to show that the O-plane projections and supersymmetry require the internal manifold to admit a rigid SU(2) structure. Appendix A contains the definitions of SU(3) and SU(2) structures and pure spinors we need in the rest of the paper, and the derivation of the general conditions for N = 1 AdS4 susy vacua. In presence of non-trivial backgrounds fluxes, instead of working directly with spinorial equations, it is more convenient to rewrite the susy equations as a set of differential conditions on forms This is the idea behind the application of G-structures and more generally Generalised Complex. The symbol αi denote a decomposable form dual to the cycle wrapped by the brane, while voli is the volume form dual to the cycle
