Generalized Parallelizable Spaces from Exceptional Field Theory (1705.09304v1)

Abstract: Generalized parallelizable spaces allow a unified treatment of consistent maximally supersymmetric truncations of ten- and eleven-dimensional supergravity in generalized geometry. Known examples are spheres, twisted tori and hyperboloides. They admit a generalized frame field over the coset space $M$=$G/H$ which reproduces the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ of $G$ under the generalized Lie derivative. An open problem is a systematic construction of these spaces and especially their generalized frames fields. We present a technique which applies to $\dim M$=4 for SL(5) exceptional field theory. In this paper the group manifold $G$ is identified with the extended space of the exceptional field theory. Subsequently, the section condition is solved to remove unphysical directions from the extended space. Finally, a SL(5) generalized frame field is constructed from parts of the left-invariant Maurer-Cartan form on $G$. All these steps impose conditions on $G$ and $H$.
