We easily read off that σ= 1 corresponds to the nearly-K¨ ahler geometry. Note that ev en |
thoughW2→0 forσ→1,ˆW2is well-defined and non-zero in this limit so that we can |
still use it as an expansion form for the fluxes. The points σ= 2 andσ= 2/5 are also |
special, since eq. (2.6) then implies that the supersymmetr ic solution has zero Romans |
mass and, in particular, can be lifted to M-theory. Moreover , these are the endpoints of |
the interval where supersymmetric solutions exist (since o utside this interval we would find |
from eq. (2.6) that m2<0). They are indicated as vertical dashed lines in the plots. |

on the overall scale can be easily extracted from all plotted quantities by multiplying by |
ato a suitable power. We plotted the value of the 4D Ricci scala rR4Dof the AdS-space |
against the shape parameter σin figure 1. Note that R4Dis inversely proportional to the |
AdS-radius squared and related to the effective 4D cosmologic al constant and the vev of |

The supersymmetric solutions are plotted in light green, wh ile red is used for the non- |
supersymmetric solutions found to be unstable in section 4. For completeness of the pre- |
sentation of our numeric results, we provide the values of ea ch of the coefficients fiof the |
ansatz (2.2) in figure 2. |
The first point to note is that where the supersymmetric solut ions are restricted to |
the interval σ∈[2/5,2], there exist non-supersymmetric solutions in the somewh at larger |
intervalσ∈[0.39958,2.13327]. Furthermore, there are up to five non-supersymmetri c |
solutions for each supersymmetric solution. |
We remark that the parameters σand the overall scale are not continuous moduli since |
they are determined by the vevs of the fluxes, which in a proper string theory treatment |
shouldbequantized. Indeed, inthenextsection wewill show that generically all moduliare |
stabilized. We leave the analysis of flux quantization, whic h is complicated by the fact that |

taken out. |
– 9 –there is non-trivial H-flux (twisting the RR-charges), to further work. The expect ation is |
that the continuous line of supergravity solutions is repla ced by discrete solutions. |
Let us now take a look at some special values of σ. Forσ= 1 we find five solutions |
of which three (including the supersymmetric one) are up to s caling equivalent to the |
solutions (3.3) onG2 |
SU(3)of the previous section [35, 29, 36, 30]. They have f3=f5= 0 and |
so the fluxes are completely expressed in terms of J. However, there are also two new non- |
supersymmetric solutions (the dark green and the purple one ) which have f3∝negationslash= 0,f5∝negationslash= 0. |
Next we turn to the case σ= 2. This point is special in that the metric becomes |
the Fubini-Study metric on CP3and the bosonic symmetry of the geometry enhances |
from Sp(2) to SU(4). In fact, since the RR-forms of the supers ymmetric solution can be |
expanded in terms of the closed K¨ ahler form ˜J= (1/3)J+(2a)1/2W2of the Fubini-Study |
metric, the symmetry group of the whole supersymmetric solu tion is SU(4). One can also |
show that the supersymmetry enhances from the generic N= 1 toN= 6 [6]. In [37] it |
was found that there is an infinite continuous family of non-s upersymmetric solutions and |
two discrete separate solutions (see also [35] for an incomp lete early discussion), which all |
have SU(4)-symmetry. They are notdisplayed in the plot since they can not be found by |
taking a continuous limit σ→2. For these solutions H= 0 (f7= 0) and ˆF2andˆF4are |
expanded in terms of ˜J(for more details see [37]). |
Instead, in the plot we find apart from the supersymmetric sol ution (which merges |
with the dark green solution at σ= 2) two more discrete non-supersymmetric solutions, |
which have only Sp(2)-symmetry (since the fluxes cannot be ex pressed in terms of ˜Jonly). |
The blue one is new, while the red one turns out to be the reduct ion of the Englert-type |
solution. Indeed for the Englert-type solution we expect |
f1= 0, no Romans mass ,(3.7a) |
f2=f2,susy, f3=f3,susy, same geometry in M ⇒sameˆF2as susy,(3.7b) |
f7=−2f4=−(1/3)f6,susy, f5= 0, fromˆF4in M-theory ,(3.7c) |
f6= (−2/3)f6,susy, Freund-Rubin parameter changes ,(3.7d) |
R4D= (5/6)R4D,susy, 4D Λ changes ,(3.7e) |
which agrees with the values displayed in the figures for the r ed curve at σ= 2. |
Also forσ= 2/5 we find apart from the supersymmetric solution, the Englert solution |
(the purplecurve) andoneextra non-supersymmetricsoluti on (the darkgreen curve). Note |
that while the supersymmetric curve joins the olive green cu rve atσ= 2/5, the purple |
curve only joins the dark green curve at σ= 0.39958. |
