In this paper, we analyze non-semisimple and complex gauge groups that satisfy the pertinent consistency relations for a maximal (N=16) gauged supergravity to exist. We give a general procedure how to generate non-semisimple gauge groups from known admissible semisimple gauge groups by a singular boost within E_{8(8)}. Examples include the theories with gauge group SO(8) x T_{28} that describe the reduction of IIA/IIB supergravity on the seven-sphere. In addition, we exhibit two `strange embeddings’ of the complex gauge group SO(8,C) into (real) E_{8(8)} and prove that both can be consistently gauged. We discuss the structure of the associated scalar potentials as well as their relation to those of D>3 gauged supergravities. | | Source: | arXiv, hep-th/0306276 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
