Alternatively they correspond to the SU(3)-decomposition of the exterior derivatives of J
and Ω [64]. Intuitively, they parameterize the failure of th e manifold to be of special
holonomy, which can also be thought of as the deviation from c losure ofJand Ω. More
specifically we have:
dJ=3
2Im(W1¯Ω)+W4∧J+W3,
dΩ =W1J∧J+W2∧J+¯W5∧Ω,(A.3)
whereW1is a scalar, W2is a primitive (1,1)-form, W3is a real primitive (1 ,2)+(2,1)-form,
W4is a real one-form and W5a complex (1,0)-form. In this paper only the torsion classes
W1,W2are non-vanishing and they are purely imaginary, so it will b e convenient to define
W1,2so thatW1,2=iW1,2. A primitive (1,1)-form P(such asW2) transforms under the 8
of SU(3) and satisfies
P∧J∧J= 0. (A.4)
The Hodge dual is given by
⋆6P=−P∧J. (A.5)
A primitive (1 ,2)(or (2,1))-formQon the other hand transforms as a 6(or¯6) under SU(3)
and satisfies
Q∧J= 0. (A.6)
B. Type II supergravity
The bosonic content of type II supergravity consists of a met ricG, a dilaton Φ, an NSNS
three-form Hand RR-fields Fn. We use the democratic formalism of [65], in which the
number of RR-fields is doubled, so that nruns over 0 ,2,4,6,8,10 in type IIA and over
1,3,5,7,9 in IIB. We will often collectively denote the RR-fields with the polyform F=/summationtext
nFn. We have also doubled the RR-potentials, collectively deno ted byC=/summationtext
nC(n−1).
These potentials satisfy F= dHC+me−B= (d +H∧)C+me−B. In type IIB there is
of course no Romans mass m, so that the second term vanishes. In type IIA we find in
particularF0=m.
The bosonic part of the pseudo-action of the democratic form alism then simply reads

where the indices are raised with the inverse of the metric Gmnor the internal metric gmn
(defined later on), depending on the context. In the followin g it will also be convenient to
define:
Pm·Pn=ιmP·ιnP=1
(l−1)!Pmm2...mlPnm2...ml. (B.2b)
– 16 –The extra degrees of freedom for the RR-fields in the democrat ic formalism have to be
removed by hand by imposing the following duality condition at the level of the equations
of motion after deriving them from the action (B.1):
Fn= (−1)(n−1)(n−2)
2⋆10F10−n. (B.3)
That is why (B.1) is only a pseudo-action.
The fermionic content consists of a doublet of gravitinos ψMand a doublet of dilatinos
λ. The components of the doublets are of different chirality in t ype IIA and of the same
chirality in type IIB.
In this paper we look for vacuum solutions that take the form A dS4×M6. In principle
there could also be a warp factor A, but it will always be constant for the solutions in this
paper. We can choose it to be zero. The compactification ansat z for the metric then reads
ds2
10=GmndXmdXn= ds2
4+gmndxmdxn, (B.4)
where ds2
4is the line-element for AdS 4andgmnis the metric on the internal space M6. For
the RR-fluxes the ansatz becomes
F=ˆF+vol4∧˜F, (B.5)
whereˆFand˜Fonly have internal indices. The duality constraint (B.3) im plies that ˜Fis
not independent of ˆF, and given by
˜Fn= (−1)(n−1)(n−2)
2⋆6ˆF6−n. (B.6)
What we need in this paper are the type II equations of motion, which can be found
from the pseudo-action (B.1). We use them as they are written down in [5] (originally they
were obtained for massive type IIA in [35]), but take some lin ear combinations in order
to further simplify then. Without source terms (i.e. we put jtotal= 0 in the equations of
motion of [5]), they then read:
dHF= 0 (Bianchi RR fields) , (B.7a)
d−H⋆10F= 0 (eom RR fields) , (B.7b)
