Gauged supergravities in 5 and 6 dimensions from generalised Scherk-Schwarz reductions. (English) Zbl 1342.83411
Summary: It is shown that the Scherk-Schwarz reduction of M-theory in the Berman-Perry duality invariant formalism to 6 and 5 dimensions reproduces the known structures of gauged supergravities. The local symmetries defined by the generalised Lie derivative reduce to gauge transformations that exactly match those given by the embedding tensor of gauged supergravity.
