Triality and the consistent reductions on

arXiv:2111.01167 · doi:10.1007/JHEP01(2022)055

Abstract

We study compactifications on and deformations thereof. We exploit the triality symmetry of the underlying duality group of three-dimensional supergravity in order to construct and relate new consistent truncations. For non-chiral , supergravity, we find two different consistent truncations to three-dimensional supergravity, retaining different subsets of Kaluza-Klein modes, thereby offering access to different subsectors of the full nonlinear dynamics. As an application, we construct a two-parameter family of backgrounds on squashed spheres preserving isometries. For generic value of the parameters, these solutions break all supersymmetries, yet they remain perturbatively stable within a non-vanishing region in parameter space. They also contain a one-parameter family of supersymmetric backgrounds on squashed spheres with isometries. Using techniques from exceptional field theory, we determine the full Kaluza-Klein spectrum around these backgrounds.
