Abstract
We construct a U(1) bundle over N(1,1), usually considered as an SO(3) bundle over CP^2, and show that type IIB supergravity can be consistently compactified over it. With the five form flux turned on, there is a solution for which the metric becomes Einstein. We also turn on 3-form fluxes and show that there is a one parameter family of solutions. In particular, there is a limiting solution of large 3-form fluxes for which two U(1) fiber directions of the metric shrink to zero size. We also discuss compactifications over N(1,1) to AdS_3. All solutions turn out to be non-supersymmetric.
