Higher derivative heterotic supergravity on a torus and supersymmetry (2406.14600v3)

Published 20 Jun 2024 in hep-th

Abstract: Ignoring ten-dimensional heterotic gauge fields, heterotic supergravity reduced on a $d$-dimensional torus gives rise to a half-maximal supergravity coupled to $d$ vector multiplets. The reduced theory has a continuous $O(d,d;\mathbb R)/O(d)-\times O(d)+$ symmetry that persists to all perturbative orders in the string $\alpha'$ expansion. We highlight this symmetry by explicitly reducing the bosonic sector of four-derivative heterotic supergravity as well as its fermionic supersymmetry variations. After appropriate field redefinitions, the resulting action and supersymmetry variations are manifestly $O(d)-\times O(d)+$ invariant. This reduction allows us to explore the interplay between the gravity and vector multiplets beyond leading order, where (in our conventions) $O(d)-$ is the supergravity R-symmetry while $O(d)+$ is a flavor symmetry of the $d$ vector multiplets.
