Lectures on Gauged Supergravity and Flux Compactifications
arXiv:0808.4076 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/25/21/214002
Abstract
The low-energy effective theories describing string compactifications in the presence of fluxes are so-called gauged supergravities: deformations of the standard abelian supergravity theories. The deformation parameters can be identified with the various possible (geometric and non-geometric) flux components. In these lecture notes we review the construction of gauged supergravities in a manifestly duality covariant way and illustrate the construction in several examples.
