In the equation of motion for Hwe get separate conditions from the coefficients of J∧J |
andˆW2∧Jrespectively. In the internal Einstein equation we find like wise a separate |
condition from the trace and the coefficient of W2(m·Jn). In the next section we find |
explicit solutions to these equations for the coset manifol ds with nearly-K¨ ahler limit, the |
stability of which we investigate in section 4. |
Flipping signs |
The Einstein and dilaton equation are quadratic in the form fl uxes and thus insensitive to |
flipping the signs of these fluxes. Taking into account also th e flux equations of motion |
and Bianchi identities, we find that for each solution to the s upergravity equations, we |
automatically obtain new ones by making the following sign fl ips: |
H→ −H,ˆF0→ −ˆF0,ˆF2→ˆF2,ˆF4→ −ˆF4,ˆF6→ˆF6, |
H→ −H,ˆF0→ˆF0,ˆF2→ −ˆF2,ˆF4→ˆF4,ˆF6→ −ˆF6, |
H→H,ˆF0→ −ˆF0,ˆF2→ −ˆF2,ˆF4→ −ˆF4,ˆF6→ −ˆF6.(2.10) |
In particular, these sign flips will transform a supersymmet ric solution into another super- |
symmetric solution (as can be verified using the conditions ( 2.1),(2.3) allowing for suitable |
– 5 –sign flips of J, ReΩ and ImΩ compatible with the metric). If some fluxes are ze ro, more |
sign flips are possible. For instance for ˆF0=ˆF4= 0 we find the following extra sign-flip, |
known as skew-whiffing in the M-theory compactification literature [52] (see also t he review |
[34]) |
H→ ±H,ˆF2→ˆF2,ˆF6→ −ˆF6, (2.11) |
which transforms a supersymmetric solution into a non-supersymmetric one. When dis- |
cussing different solutions, we will from now on implicitly co nsider each solution together |
with its signed-flipped counterparts. |
3. Solutions |
Let us now solve the equations obtained in the previous secti on for the coset manifolds that |
admit sourceless supersymmetric solutions, namelyG2 |
SU(3), SU(2)×SU(2),Sp(2) |
S(U(2)×U(1))and |
SU(3) |
U(1)×U(1). For the supersymmetricsolutions on these manifolds we wil l use the conventions |
and presentation of [13, 14]. For moredetails, includingin particular ourchoice of structure |
constants for the relevant algebras, we refer to these paper s. |
On a coset manifold G/Hone can define a coframe emthrough the decomposition of |
the Lie-valued one-form L−1dL=emKm+ωaHain terms of the algebras of GandH. Here |
Lis a coset representative, the Haspan the algebra of Hand theKmspan the complement |
of this algebra within the algebra of G. The exterior derivative on the emis then given |
in terms of the structure constants through the Maurer-Cart an relation. Furthermore, |
the forms that are left-invariant under the action of Gare precisely those forms that are |
constant in the basis spanned by emand for which the exterior derivative is also constant |
in this basis. For these forms the exterior derivative can th en be expressed solely in terms |
of the structure constants only involving the Km. We refer to [53, 54] for a review on coset |
technology or to the above papers for a quick explanation. |
G2 |
SU(3)and SU(2) ×SU(2) |
We start from the supersymmetric nearly-K¨ ahler solution o nG2 |
SU(3). The SU(3)-structure |
is given by |
J=a(e12−e34+e56), |
Ω =a3/2/bracketleftbig |
(e245−e236−e146−e135)+i(e246+e235+e145−e136)/bracketrightbig |
,(3.1) |
whereais the overall scale. |
Since this SU(3)-structure corresponds to a nearly-K¨ ahle r geometry the torsion class |
W2is zero. Furthermore we find |
W1=−2√ |
3a−1/2, w2=p= 0. (3.2) |
– 6 –Plugging this into the equations (2.9) we find exactly three s olutions for ( f1,...,f7) (up |
to the sign flips (2.10)): |

The first is the supersymmetric solution, while the last two a re non-supersymmetric solu- |
tions, which were already found in [35, 29, 36]. Truncating t o the 4D effective theory it |
was shown in [30] that a generalization of this family of solu tions is quite universal as it |
appears in a large class of N= 2 gauged supergravities. |
On the SU(2) ×SU(2) manifold, requiring the same geometry as the supersym metric |
solution and not allowing for source terms will restrict us t o the nearly-K¨ ahler point. The |
analysis is then basically the same as forG2 |
SU(3)above. |
Sp(2) |
S(U(2)×U(1)) |
The family of supersymmetric solutions on this manifold has , next to the overall scale, |
an extra parameter determining the shape of the solutions. I t is then possible to turn on |
the torsion class W2and venture away from the nearly-K¨ ahler geometry. This mak es this |
class much richer and enables us this time to find new non-supe rsymmetric solutions. The |
