| contents | Taking into account the Green-Schwarz anomaly counterterm in R-symmetry gauged $N=(1,0)$ supergravity in six dimensions, and the associated modification in the Maxwell kinetic term and potential, we observe that the theory admits half-supersymmetric Minkowski$_4\times S^2$ and non-supersymmetric dS$_4 \times S^2$ as exact solutions with a monopole on $S^2$. The monopole charge and the anomaly coefficients play key roles in the vacuum structure and it turns out that a diagonal gauging in which an admixture of an external $U(1)$ with the R-symmetry $U(1)_R$ is needed for the de Sitter solutions to exist. We determine the full Kaluza-Klein spectrum for both vacua. The spectrum is unitary in the Minkowski case but in the case of de Sitter vacuum, two scalars violate the Higuchi unitarity bound, and they represent two tachyonic states, one from the dilaton and the other from the volume of the internal space. We show that turning on small perturbations of the tachyonic modes around the dS$_4\times S^2$ triggers a flow evolving towards Mink$_4\times S^2$ with the minimal potential energy. We also find a nonsupersymmetric AdS$_4\times S^2$ solution, when we turn on a flux associated with external $U(1)$ gauge field only, and show that the phenomenon of scale separation is realized. |
