报告摘要:

Thedimensional reduction of a generic theory on a curved internal space such as asphere does not admit a consistent truncation to a finite set of fields thatincludes the Yang-Mills gauge bosons of the isometry group. In rare cases, forexample the S 7 reduction of eleven-dimensional supergravity, such a consistent“Pauli reduction” does exist. In this talk we discuss this existence questionin two examples of S 2 reductions of supergravities. We do this by making useof a relation between certain S^2 reductions and group manifold S^3 = SU (2)reductions of a theory in one dimension higher. By this means we establish thenon-existence of a consistent S^2 Pauli reduction of five-dimensional minimalsupergravity. We also show that a previously-discovered consistent Paulireduction of six-dimensional Salam-Sezgin supergravity can be elegantlyunderstood via a group-manifold reduction from seven dimensions.
