Warped G2 throats from deformed conifolds in IIA supergravity
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: We analyze the IIA supergravity solutions corresponding to a warped product of a 3D external Minkowski space and a 7D internal non-compact space, with the latter being the direct product of a deformed conifold and a circle. The specific construction allows for the presence of either a finite 4-cycle or a 3-cycle at the tip supported by the F 4 or the H 3 flux respectively. Once we mod-out by a Z 2 involution we can also get a G2 space, and for completeness we also report on some basic features that we expect from the embedding in a compact setup.
