Abstract

We explore all warped AdS4×wMD4AdS_4\times_w M^{D-4} backgrounds with the most general allowed fluxes that preserve more than 16 supersymmetries in D=10D=10- and 1111-dimensional supergravities. After imposing the assumption that either the internal space MD4M^{D-4} is compact without boundary or the isometry algebra of the background decomposes into that of AdS4_4 and that of MD4M^{D-4}, we find that there are no such backgrounds in IIB supergravity. Similarly in IIA supergravity, there is a unique such background with 24 supersymmetries locally isometric to AdS4×CP3AdS_4\times \mathbb{CP}^3, and in D=11D=11 supergravity all such backgrounds are locally isometric to the maximally supersymmetric AdS4×S7AdS_4\times S^7 solution.
