Parabolic dimensional reductions of 11-dimensional supergravity

Teng Fei, Bin Guo and Duong H. Phong

Vol. 14 (2021), No. 5, 1333–1361
Abstract

Ansatze are constructed under which the solutions of 11-dimensional supergravity must be stationary points of a parabolic flow on a Riemannian manifold M10p . This parabolic flow turns out to be the Ricci flow coupled to a scalar field, a (3p)-form, and a 4-form. This allows the introduction of techniques from parabolic partial differential equations to the search of solutions to 11-dimensional supergravity. As a first step, Shi-type estimates and criteria for the long-time existence of the flow are established.
