TCFHs, IIB warped AdS backgrounds and hidden symmetries
Abstract
We present the twisted covariant form hierarchies (TCFHs) on the internal spaces of all type IIB warped AdS backgrounds. As a result we demonstrate that the form bilinears on the internal spaces satisfy a generalisation of the conformal Killing-Yano equation. We also explore some of the properties of the TCFHs, like for example the holonomy of the TCFH connections. In addition, we present examples where the form bilinears generate hidden symmetries for particle probes propagating on the internal spaces of some AdS backgrounds. These include the maximally supersymmetric AdS5 solution as well as some of the near horizon geometries of intersecting IIB branes.
