Abstract

We construct the universal AdS4_{4} black hole that asymptotes to the (φ,χ)(\varphi,\chi)-family of type IIB S-fold backgrounds dual to the conformal manifold of N=2\mathcal{N}=2 S-fold CFT's. We present the explicit type IIB embedding of such a universal black hole for two particular asymptotics: the N=2\,\mathcal{N}=2\, S-fold with U(2)\,\textrm{U}(2)\, symmetry at (φ,χ)=(0,0)\,(\varphi,\chi)=(0,0)\, and the N=4\,\mathcal{N}=4\, S-fold with SO(4)\,\textrm{SO}(4)\, symmetry at (φ,χ)=(1,0)\,(\varphi,\chi)=(1,0). As a byproduct, we also present a novel 1/161/16-BPS two-parameter family of AdS2×M8\,\textrm{AdS}_{2} \times \textrm{M}_{8}\, S-fold backgrounds with M8=H2×S5×S1\,\textrm{M}_{8}=\mathbb{H}^{2} \times \textrm{S}^{5} \times \textrm{S}^{1} that features a parametrically-controlled scale separation.
