Abstract

We classify AdS3_3 solutions preserving N=(8,0)\mathcal{N}=(8,0) supersymmetry in ten and eleven dimensions and find the local form of each of them. These include the AdS3×_3\timesS6^6 solution of \cite{Dibitetto:2018ftj} and the embeddings of AdS3_3 into AdS4×_4\timesS7^7, AdS5×_5\timesS5^5, AdS7/Zk×_7/\mathbb{Z}_k\timesS4^4 and its IIA reduction within AdS7_7. More interestingly we find solutions preserving the superconformal algebras f4\mathfrak{f}_4, su(1,14)\mathfrak{su}(1,1|4), osp(44)\mathfrak{osp}(4^*|4) on certain squashings of the 7-sphere. These solutions asymptote to AdS4×_4\timesS7^7 and are promising candidates for holographic duals to defects in Chern-Simons matter theories.
