چکیده
Some recent results in the study of four dimensional supergravity flux compactifications are reviewed, discussing in particular the role of torsion on the compactification manifold in generating gauge charges for the effective four dimensional theories.

Soft scalar masses in supergravity with horizontal U(1)X gauge symmetry,” Phys. Lett. B369
Soft scalar masses in supergravity with horizontal U(1) X gauge symmetry Abstract In supergravity with modular invariance and horizontal U (1) X gauge symmetry there is a relation between modular weights and U (1) X charges. The soft scalar masses are then strongly correlated with Yukawa matrices. The implications for FCNC are discussed.
متن کاملOn the Algebraic K-theory of The Massive D8 and M9 Branes
We study the relation between the D8-branes wrapped on an orientable compact manifold W in a massive Type IIA supergravity background and the M9-branes wrapped on a compact manifold Z in a massive d=11 supergravity background from the K-theoretic point of view. By speculationg on the use of the dimensional reduction to relate the two theories in different dimensions and by interpreting the D8-b...
متن کاملSupergravity , the DBI Action and Black Hole Physics
The assumptions behind the recently conjectured relation between gauge theory and supergravity are elaborated on. It is pointed out that the scaling limit that preserves supergravity solutions, gives the entire DBI action on the gauge theory side, but in the low energy limit the relation between the conformal field theory and Anti-de Sitter supergravity emerges. We also argue that recent work o...
متن کاملGauged Supergravities , Tensor Hierarchies , and M - Theory
Deformations of maximal supergravity theories induced by gauging non-abelian subgroups of the duality group reveal the presence of charged M-theory degrees of freedom that are not necessarily contained in supergravity. The relation with Mtheory degrees of freedom is confirmed by the representation assignments under the duality group of the gauge charges and the ensuing vector and tensor gauge f...
متن کاملThe Symplectic Structure of N = 2 Supergravity and its Central Extension ∗
We report on the formulation of N = 2 D = 4 supergravity coupled to nV abelian vector multiplets in presence of electric and magnetic charges. General formulae for the (moduli dependent) electric and magnetic charges for the nV + 1 gauge fields are given which reflect the symplectic structure of the underlying special geometry. The specification to Type IIB strings compactified on Calabi-Yau ma...
