Description
We study partial supersymmetry breaking of five-dimensional N=4 gauged supergravity in consistent truncations ofsupergravity and string theory. Evaluating one-loop Chern-Simons terms we address necessary conditions for consistent truncations to yield also proper effective field theories. As examples we consider SU(2)-structure reduction of M-theory on Calabi-Yau threefolds with vanishing Euler number as well as type IIB supergravity on squashed Sasaki-Einstein manifolds.
