${\cal N}=(4,4)$ supersymmetric AdS$_3$ solutions in $d=11$
Abstract
We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for AdS solutions of supergravity to preserve supersymmetry in terms of G-structures. Such solutions necessarily support an SU(3)-structure on the internal 8-manifold M, in terms of which we phrase the conditions for supersymmetry preservation. We use this to derive the local form of all supersymmetric AdS solutions in , for which M decomposes as a foliation of a 3-sphere over a 5 dimensional base. There are 3 independent classes, 2 of which preserve the small superconformal algebra and one preserving its large counterpart for which M contains a second 3-sphere. We show that for each solution with large (4,4) supersymmetry there are two corresponding solutions with small , one for which M maintains its 3-sphere, one where this blows up to which can be compactified to . We use our results to construct several new solutions that lie within our derived classes as well as recovering some existing solutions.
