Chiral compactification on Minkowski x S2 of N = 2 Einstein-Maxwell supergravity in six dimensions
Description
The authors show that the U(1) gauged Einstein-Maxwell supergravity in six dimensions, spontaneously compactifies on Minkowski x S2, with a monopole-valued Maxwell field on S2. The bosonic symmetry of the background is SU(2) x U(1). The field equations fix the monopole charge to be ±1. The consequence of this is that the N = 2 supersymmetric breaks down to N = 1, and chiral fermions emerge
