摘要
We consider compactifications of M-theory on 7-manifolds in the presence of 4-form fluxes, which leave at least four supercharges unbroken. We focus especially on the case, where the fluxes on the 7-manifold are consistent with SU(3) singlet spinors and hence appear as specific SU(3) structures. We derive the constraints on the fluxes imposed by supersymmetry and determine the flux components that fix the resulting 4-dimensional cosmological constant (or superpotential).
