abstract

We discuss a simple procedure for finding vacua of gauged supergravity models, based on the variation of the embedding tensor rather than on a direct minimization of the scalar potential. We apply this procedure to N=8 gauged supergravity in 4 dimensions. We easily recover many of the previously known vacua, also completing their scalar mass spectrum, and we apply our procedure to find a dozen of new analytical vacuum solutions. The analysis shows an interesting structure on the moduli spaces of these vacua and provides new criteria to determine the expected value of the cosmological constant by a simple inspection of the group properties of the embedding tensor.

Maximal trombone supergravity from wrapped M5-branes

hep-th · 2026-01-12 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Certain maximal 4D supergravities with trombone gaugings arise as consistent truncations of 11D supergravity from M5-branes wrapped on supersymmetric three-cycles.

Consistent subsectors of maximal supergravity and wrapped M5-branes

hep-th · 2025-11-19 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

New family of maximal 4D gauged supergravities with trombone gauging admits supersymmetric AdS vacua related to M5-branes and provides sufficient conditions for consistent subtruncations from groups not contained in the N=8 gauge group.
