Abstract

We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for AdS3_3 solutions of d=11d=11 supergravity to preserve N=(1,1){\cal N}=(1,1) supersymmetry in terms of G-structures. Such solutions necessarily support an SU(3)-structure on the internal 8-manifold M8_8, in terms of which we phrase the conditions for supersymmetry preservation. We use this to derive the local form of all N=(4,4){\cal N}=(4,4) supersymmetric AdS3_3 solutions in d=11d=11, for which M8_8 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 M5_5 contains a second 3-sphere. We show that for each solution with large (4,4) supersymmetry there are two corresponding solutions with small (4,4)(4,4), one for which M5_5 maintains its 3-sphere, one where this blows up to R3\mathbb{R}^3 which can be compactified to T3\mathbb{T}^3. We use our results to construct several new solutions that lie within our derived classes as well as recovering some existing solutions.
