Abstract

We present all the symmetry superalgebras g\mathfrak{g} of all warped AdSk×wMdk_k\times_w M^{d-k}, k>2k>2, flux backgrounds in d=10,11d=10, 11 dimensions preserving any number of supersymmetries. First we give the conditions for g\mathfrak{g} to decompose into a direct sum of the isometry algebra of AdSk_k and that of the internal space MdkM^{d-k}. Assuming this decomposition, we identify all symmetry superalgebras of AdS3_3 backgrounds by showing that the isometry groups of internal spaces act transitively on spheres. We demonstrate that in type II and d=11d=11 theories the AdS3_3 symmetry superalgebras may not be simple and also present all symmetry superalgebras of heterotic AdS3_3 backgrounds. Furthermore, we explicitly give the symmetry superalgebras of AdSk_k, k>3k>3, backgrounds and prove that they are all classical.
