Abstract
We discuss the dimensional reduction of fermionic modes in a recently found class of consistent truncations of D = 11 supergravity compactified on squashed sevendimensional SasakiEinstein manifolds Such reductions are of interest for example in that they have 2 + 1dimensional holographic duals and the fermionic content and their interactions with charged scalars are an important aspect of their applications We derive the lowerdimensional equations of motion for the fermions and exhibit their couplings to the various bosonic modes present in the truncations under consideration which most notably include charged scalar and form fields We demonstrate that our results are consistent with the expected supersymmetric structure of the lower dimensional theory and apply them to a specific example which is relevant to the study of 2 + 1dimensional holographic superconductors
