It is usually stated that the compactification of (the bosonic part of the) type IIB (D=10, N=(2,0)) supergravity on T4 gives a six-dimensional N=(4,4) supergravity whose scalar sector - the one I am interested in - can be written in a way that is manifestly invariant under the
SO(5,5)SO(5)×SO(5)
transformations, that is, the 25 scalars
hij(10),Bij(6),Cij(6)Cijkl(1),ϕ(1),C0(1),
corresponding to the metric, the Kalb-Ramond 2-form, and the RR 0-, 2-, and 4-forms with all legs on the T4 plus the dilaton, can be repacked into a 10×10 matrix (with 5×5 blocks) MAB whose kinetic term is
L=18eTr[∂μMAB∂μMAB].
(I follow here the notation of Tanii's "Introduction to Supergravity" or Samtleben's "Lectures on Gauged Supergravity and Flux Compactifications")
In hep-th/9207016 Maharana and Schwarz show how to see that the bosonic part of D=10, N=(1,0) reduced on Td are indeed invariant under O(d,d).
My questions are now:
- What is a nice reference for the Maharana - Schwarz computation for D=10, N=(2,0) theory reduced on T4, where it is explicitly shown the enlargement of the group O(4,4) to O(5,5) due to the inclusion of the scalars coming from the RR fields?
- How I embed the 25 moduli into the 10×10 matrix MAB with generic six-dimensional background geometry?
- Bonus question: What is the complete D=6,N=(4,4) lagrangian and how I read the precise dictionary that relates 6D fields to 10D ones?
