6D (1,1) gauged supergravities from orientifold compactifications

Abstract We study dimensional reductions of M-theory/type II strings down to 6D in the presence of fluxes and spacetime filling branes and orientifold planes of different types. We classify all inequivalent orientifold projections giving rise to N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = (1, 1) supergravities in 6D and...
