The local symmetry-group of the resulting d=4 theory includes a Heisenberg group, which is a subgroup of the global O(6,6+n) obtained in the standard reduction. We show explicitly that the same theory can be obtained by gauging this Heisenberg group in d=4, N=4 supergravity.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1997-08-04T14:15:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dimensional reduction", "gauged supergravity", "heisenberg group", "generalised scherk-schwarz reduction", "local symmetry-group" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 445629 } } }
