We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for warped AdS$_2$ solutions of Type II supergravity to preserve ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetry, in terms of bispinors. Such solutions generically support an SU$(3)$-structure on their internal…
New integral representations for form factors in the two parametric SS model are proposed. Some form factors in the parafermionic sine-Gordon model and in an integrable perturbation of SU(2) coset conformal field theories are…
We construct a new class of $\text{AdS}_3\times $S$^3\times $M$_4$ solutions of massive Type IIA supergravity with $(0,4)$ supersymmetries and SU(3) structure. We study in detail two subclasses of these solutions. The first subclass is when…
We discuss the AdS/CFT correspondence for negative curvature Einstein manifolds whose conformal boundary is degenerate in the sense that it is of codimension greater than one. In such manifolds, hypersurfaces of constant radius do not blow…
We show how to implement T-duality along non-abelian isometries in backgrounds with non-vanishing Ramond fields. When the dimension of the isometry group is odd (even) the duality swaps (preserves) the chirality of the theory. In certain…
We analyse the most general bosonic supersymmetric solutions of type IIB supergravity whose metrics are warped products of five-dimensional anti-de Sitter space AdS_5 with a five-dimensional Riemannian manifold M_5. All fluxes are allowed…
In the prototypical AdS$_5$/CFT$_4$ correspondence, the free energy of $\mathcal{N}=4$ SU$(N)$ super Yang-Mills theory is commonly reproduced from the Euclidean on-shell action of five-dimensional gauged supergravity -- a consistent…
We construct a new $N=4$ non-semisimple gauged supergravity in three dimensions with $E_{6(2)}/SU(6)\times SU(2)$ scalar manifold and $SO(4)\ltimes \mathbf{T}^6$ gauge group. Depending on the values of the gauge coupling constants, the…
We study exactly marginal deformations of 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ CFTs dual to AdS$_4$ solutions in eleven-dimensional supergravity using generalised geometry. Focussing on Sasaki-Einstein backgrounds, we find that marginal deformations…
We revisit the reduction of type II supergravity on SU(3) structure manifolds, conjectured to lead to gauged N=2 supergravity in 4 dimensions. The reduction proceeds by expanding the invariant 2- and 3-forms of the SU(3) structure as well…
We construct new families of supersymmetric AdS$_3$ solutions in both massive and massless Type IIA supergravity via deformations to known backgrounds preserving $\mathcal{N} = (4,0)$ and $\mathcal{N} = (6,0)$ supersymmetry. These…
We provide explicit solutions of Type IIA supergravity which are believed to be dual to N = 2 superconformal four dimensional gauge theories. These explicit solutions are based on the general ansatz for such a type of backgrounds introduced…
We construct the $\lambda$-model on $SU(3)_k/U(2)_k$ and we compute the one-loop $\beta$-function for the deformation parameter $\lambda$. Its non-compact version for $SU(2,1)_{-k}/U(2)_{-k}$ is also considered, whose target space admits an…
We construct supergravity solutions dual to twisted field theories that are the worldvolume theories of D4-branes wrapped on 2, 3-cycles, and NS-fivebranes on 3-cycles. We first obtain the solutions for the Romans' six-dimensional gauged…
F(4) supergravity, the gauge theory of the exceptional six-dimensional Anti-de Sitter superalgebra, is coupled to an arbitrary number of vector multiplets whose scalar components parametrize the quaternionic manifold $SO(4,n)/SO(4)\times…
We identify 219 AdS$_4$ solutions in four-dimensional dyonically gauged ISO(7) $\mathcal{N}=8$ supergravity and present some of their properties. One of the new solutions preserves $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetry and provides a rare explicit…
We construct the general local solutions to complexified Type IIB supergravity which are invariant under the complexified Lie superalgebra $F(4)$. The geometry is a product of complexified maximally symmetric spaces $\mathcal M_{6 {\mathbb…
We study the geometries obtained by performing super non-Abelian T-duality of the Principal Chiral Model on OSp$(1|2)$. While the initial model represents an appropriate 3D supergravity background, interpretable as the superspace version of…
We find new homogeneous r matrices containing supercharges, and use them to find new backgrounds of Yang-Baxter deformed superstrings. We obtain these as limits of unimodular inhomogeneous r matrices and associated deformations of AdS2 x S2…
Superstrings propagating on backgrounds of the form AdS_3 x G/H are studied using the coset CFT approach. We focus on seven dimensional cosets which have a semiclassical limit, and which give rise to N=3 superconformal symmetry in the dual…
