Freund-Rubin compactification
- Freund-Rubin compactification
11D supergravity contains a 3-form field C. It also contains an electric 2-brane (M2) and a magnetic 5-brane (M5) under C. These branes are BPS states and they are also black branes. Their near horizon metrics are given by AdS4×S7 and AdS7× S4 respectively. These geometries contain a nonzero four-flux which gives rise to a nonzero Ricci curvature. They are called Freund-Rubin compactifications.

Supergravity — In theoretical physics, supergravity (supergravity theory) is a field theory that combines the principles of supersymmetry and general relativity. Together, these imply that, in supergravity, the supersymmetry is a local symmetry (in contrast to… … Wikipedia
