Abstract

We construct new families of N=(0,4)\mathcal{N}=(0,4) AdS3×S2×S~2×S1\mathrm{AdS}_3\times S^2 \times \tilde S^2 \times S^1 backgrounds fibred over a 2d Riemann surface in Type IIB string theory. These solutions are obtained by extracting the near-horizon limit of D3-brane box configurations, consisting on D3-D5-NS5 branes ending on D5'-NS5' background branes. We relate our families of solutions to previous AdS3×S2×CY2\mathrm{AdS}_3\times S^2 \times \text{CY}_2 and AdS3×S3×S2\mathrm{AdS}_3\times S^3 \times S^2 solutions to Type IIA recently constructed in the literature. We construct explicit 2d quiver CFTs associated to the D3-brane box configurations, and check that the central charges match the holographic result. We extend our solutions to include D7-branes, and show that a subclass of these solutions can be interpreted in terms of D3-D5-NS5 defect branes embedded in a 5d fixed point theory. This is explicitly realised by linking our solutions to a 6d domain wall that asymptotes locally the AdS6×S2×Σ2\mathrm{AdS}_6\times S^2 \times \Sigma_2 solution T-dual to the Brandhuber-Oz vacuum.
