Abstract

We construct N=(2,2)\mathcal{N}=(2,2) supersymmetric AdS3_3 solutions of type IIB supergravity, dual to twisted compactifications of 4d N=4\mathcal{N}=4 super-Yang--Mills on Riemann surfaces. We consider both theories with a regular topological twist, and a twist involving the isometry group of the Riemann surface. These solutions are interpreted as the near-horizon of black strings asymptoting to AdS5×S5_5\times \text{S}^5. As evidence for the proposed duality we compute the central charge of the gravity solutions and show that it agrees with the field theory result.
