TY  - JOUR
AB  - We consider the dimensional reduction to D = 3 of four maximal-rank super-gravities which preserve minimal supersymmetry in D = 11, 7, 5 and 4. Such “curious” theories were investigated some time ago, and the four-dimensional one corresponds to an N=1 supergravity with 7 chiral multiplets spanning the seven-disk manifold. Recently, this latter theory provided cosmological models for α-attractors, which are based on the disk geometry with possible restrictions on the parameter α. A unified picture emerges in D = 3, where the Ehlers group of General Relativity merges with the S-, T- and U-dualities of the D = 4 parent theories.
