Flux compactifications of M-theory on twisted tori (2006)
Journal Article
Hull, C. M., & Reid-Edwards, R. A. (2006). Flux compactifications of M-theory on twisted tori. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2006(10), 086-086. https://doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/2006/10/086

We find the bosonic sector of the gauged supergravities that are obtained from 11-dimensional supergravity by Scherk-Schwarz dimensional reduction with flux to any dimension D. We show that, if certain obstructions are absent, the Scherk-Schwarz ansa... Read More about Flux compactifications of M-theory on twisted tori.
