Abstract

We extend the analysis of arXiv:0801.4457 [hep-th] to charged black hole solutions of four-dimensional U(1)4U(1)^4 gauged supergravity which carry three charges. There are two decoupling near-horizon limits, one over the near-BPS black hole solution and the other over the near-extremal, but non-BPS geometry. Taking the limit over the eleven dimensional uplift of these black hole solutions, for both of these cases we obtain a geometry which has a piece (conformal) to rotating BTZ ×S2\times S^2. We study the 4d, 11d11d and 5d,3d5d, 3d black hole properties. Moreover, we show that the BTZ×S2\times S^2 geometry obtained after the near-BPS (near-extremal) limit is also a solution to five-dimensional U(1)3U(1)^3 un-gauged (gauged) STU supergravity. Based on these decoupling limits we argue that there should be sectors of 3d CFT resulting from low energy limit of theory on NN M2-branes (N)N\to \infty), which are decoupled from the rest of the theory and are effectively described by a 2d CFT. The central charge of the 2d CFT in both near-BPS and near-extremal case scales as NN. The engineering dimension of the operators in these decoupled sectors scales as N4/3N^{4/3} (for near-BPS case) while as N3/2N^{3/2} (for the near-extremal case). Moreover, we discuss the description of the decoupled sectors as certain deformations of 6d6d CFT residing on the intersecting M5-brane giants.
