Abstract

SU(2) gauged N=2 supergravity in d=8 is constructed by generalized dimensional reduction of d=11 supergravity on SU(2) group manifold. The relation between the field equations of the d=8 and those of d=11 supergravities is established. As a byproduct of this, it is shown that certain compactifications of d=11 supergravity give rise to anti-de Sitter space-time (AdS)⊗S4 or AdS⊗CP2 (with or without SU(2) instanton) or AdS⊗S2⊗S2 compactifications of d=8 supergravity.
