| Description | This paper presents a series of constructions providing 11-dimensional bosonic supergravity backgrounds. In particular, we treat Lorentzian manifolds given in terms of twisted products of six-dimensional Lorentzian manifolds and five-dimensional Riemannian manifolds. By considering a representative flux 4-form adapted to this setting, we analyse the system of bosonic supergravity equations and describe the corresponding geometric constraints. The new supergravity backgrounds appear for special cases associated to the adapted flux 4-form. For example, we provide a relation of 11-dimensional supergravity with Ricci-isotropic Walker manifolds, and illustrate several results in their terms and in terms of Ricci-flat Riemannian manifolds. |
