Abstract: (Elsevier)
A new version of the non-chiral N = 2a supergravity in ten dimensions is obtained, in which the two-index tensor field of the theory “eats” the single vector field and acquires a mass in a Higgs-type mechanism. The new theory, although it contains no fundamental vectors, bears many formal resemblances to gauged supergravities (in particular, the recently constructed F(4) theory in six dimensions). The scalar potential has no extrema, but nevertheless the classical equations of motion admit a wide variety of spontaneous compactifications, many to four dimensions.- supergravity
