A bstract In this paper, we present a unified perspective on sphere consistent truncations based the classical geometric properties of bundles. The backbone our approach is global angular form for sphere. universal formula Kaluza-Klein ansatz flux threading n -sphere captures full nonabelian isometry group SO( + 1) and scalar deformations associated to coset SL( 1, ℝ)/SO( 1). all cases, scalars enter in shift by an exact form. We find that latter can be completely fixed imposing mild conditions, motivated supersymmetry, potential arising from dimensional reduction higher theory. comment role derivation topological couplings lower-dimensional theory, how could provide inroads into study with less supersymmetry.
