Duality phases and halved maximal D=4 supergravity

The duality angles deformation developed by de Roo and Wagemans within the context of N=4 gauged supergravity is used in order to study certain classes of gaugings of N=8 supergravity, namely, those that are consistent when halving the maximal D=4 theory. After reviewing the truncation process from...

description The duality angles deformation developed by de Roo and Wagemans within the context of N=4 gauged supergravity is used in order to study certain classes of gaugings of N=8 supergravity, namely, those that are consistent when halving the maximal D=4 theory.
