2d gauged maximal supergravities and Kaluza–Klein reductions

Abstract: I will summarise the general framework of consistent Kaluza–Klein truncations from D=11 and type II supergravities to gauged maximal supergravities in two dimensions. This makes it possible to describe the complete bosonic dynamics of all D=2 gauged maximal supergravities that admit a geometric uplift. The construction can be applied in particular to prove and construct the consistent truncation of eleven-dimensional supergravity on S8×S1 to D=2 SO(9) gauged supergravity, relevant for the holographic description of the M-theory/BFSS matrix model.
