Geometric and non-geometric compactifications of IIB supergravity

Reid-Edwards, R. A.

Abstract

Complementary geometric and non-geometric consistent reductions of IIB supergravity are studied. The geometric reductions on the identified group manifold Script X = G/Γ are found to have a gauge symmetry with Lie algebroid structure, generalising that found in similar reductions of the Bosonic string theory and eleven-dimensional supergravity. Examples of such compactifications are considered and the symmetry breaking in each case is analysed. Complementary to the reductions on Script X are the nine-dimensional S-duality twisted reductions considered in the second half of the paper. The general reduced theory is given and symmetry breaking is investigated. The non-geometric S-duality twisted reductions and their relation to geometric reductions of F-Theory on Script X is briefly discussed.
