Abstract

Through consistent Kaluza-Klein reduction, we construct 3D N=2\mathcal{N} =2 gauged supergravities corresponding to twisted compactifications of M5-branes on a product of constant curvature Riemann surfaces, including K\"{a}hler-Einstein four-manifolds. We extend the reduction to fermionic supersymmetry variations in order to determine the 3D Killing spinor equations and classify all timelike supersymmetric solutions. As a by-product, we identify an infinite class of new supersymmetric warped AdS3AdS_3 (G\"odel) and warped dS3d S_3 solutions. Moreover, we show that the superpotential TT encodes the central charge and R symmetry of the dual N=(0,2)\mathcal{N} = (0,2) SCFTs in the large NN limit. We demonstrate that the R symmetry matches the canonical U(1)U(1) isometry from existing classifications of supersymmetric AdS3AdS_3 solutions to 11D supergravity with N=(0,2)\mathcal{N} = (0,2) supersymmetry.
