We construct a four-dimensional consistent truncation to the bosonic part of the universal sector of Calabi-Yau IIA compactification (i.e. the gravity multiplet, one vectormultiplet, and one hypermultiplet) in the presence of background flux and fermionic condensates generated by gravitational instantons. The condensates are controlled by the ratio of the characteristic length of the Calabi-Yau to the string length, and can be fine-tuned to be dominant in a region of large volume and small string coupling. The consistent truncation admits de Sitter solutions supported by the condensates, subject to certain validity conditions that we discuss.
We construct a consistent four-scalar truncation of ten-dimensional IIA supergravity on nearly Kähler spaces in the presence of dilatino condensates. The truncation is universal, i.e. it does not depend on any detailed features of the compactification manifold other than its nearly Kähler property, and admits a smooth limit to a universal four-scalar consistent truncation on Calabi-Yau spaces. The theory admits formal solutions with nonvanishing condensates, of the form S 1,3 × M 6 , where M 6 is a six-dimensional nearly Kähler or Calabi-Yau manifold, and S 1,3 can be de Sitter, Minkowski or anti-de Sitter four-dimensional space.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
