Abstract
A holographic interpretation for some specific Ricci flat string backgrounds of the form is proposed. The conjecture is that there is a Four-dimensional Euclidean Conformal Field Theory (ECFT) defined on a codimension two {\em submanifold} of the manifold (where one of the two remaining {\em holographic} coordinates of is timelike, and the other one spacelike), with central charge proportional to the radius of curvature of the six-dimensional manifold, .
