Non-unimodular reductions and N = 4 gauged supergravities
arXiv:0712.4147 · doi:10.1002/prop.200810556
Abstract
We analyze the class of four-dimensional N = 4 supergravities obtained by gauging the axionic shift and axionic rescaling symmetries. These theories are formulated with the machinery of embedding tensors and shown to be deducible from higher dimensions using a Scherk--Schwarz reduction with a twist by a non-compact symmetry. This allows to evade the usual unimodularity requirement and completes the dictionary between heterotic gaugings and fluxes, at least for the "geometric sector".
