Consistent reductions of IIB*/M* theory and de Sitter supergravity
Abstract
We construct consistent non-linear Kaluza Klein reduction ansatze for a subset of fields arising from the reduction of IIB* and M* theory on dS5 x H5 and dS4 x AdS7, respectively. These reductions yield four and five-dimensional de Sitter supergravities, albeit with wrong sign kinetic terms. We also demonstrate that the ansatze may be used to lift multi-centered de Sitter black hole solutions to ten and eleven dimensions. The lifted dS5 black holes correspond to rotating E4-branes of IIB* theory.
