Abstract

We study AdS3×S2_3\times \text{S}^2 solutions in massive IIA that preserve small N=(4,0){\cal N}=(4,0) supersymmetry in terms of an SU(2)-structure on the remaining internal space. We find two new classes of solutions that are warped products of the form AdS3×S2×M4×R_3\times \text{S}^2\times \text{M}_4\times \mathbb{R}. For the first, M4_4=CY2_2 and we find a generalisation a D4-D8 system involving possible additional branes. For the second, M4_4 need only be Kahler, and we find a generalisation of the T-dual of solutions based on D3-branes wrapping curves in the base of an elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau 3-fold. Within these classes we find many new locally compact solutions that are foliations of AdS3×S2×CY2_3\times \text{S}^2\times\text{CY}_2 over an interval, bounded by various D brane and O plane behaviours. We comment on how these local solutions may be used as the building blocks of infinite classes of global solutions glued together with defect branes. Utilising T-duality we find two new classes of AdS3×S3×M4_3\times \text{S}^3\times \text{M}_4 solutions in IIB. The first backreacts D5s and KK monopoles on the D1-D5 near horizon. The second is a generalisation of the solutions based on D3-branes wrapping curves in the base of an elliptically fibered CY3_3 that includes non trivial 3-form flux.
