The SU(3)-invariant sector of maximal supergravity in four dimensions with an SO(8) gauging is uplifted to D = 11 supergravity. In order to do this, the SU(3)-neutral sector of the tensor and duality hierarchies of the D = 4 �� = 8 supergravity is first worked out. The consistent D = 11 embedding of the full, dynamical SU(3) sector is then expressed at the level of the D = 11 metric and three-form gauge field in terms of these D = 4 tensors. The redundancies introduced by this approach are eliminated at the level of the D = 11 four-form …
