We study AdS$_3\times \text{S}^2$ solutions in massive IIA that preserve small ${\cal N}=(4,0)$ supersymmetry in terms of an SU(2)-structure on the remaining internal space. We find two new classes of solutions that are warped products of…

We construct new families of supersymmetric AdS$_2\times\mathbb{M}_4$ solutions of $D=6$ gauged supergravity and AdS$_3\times\mathbb{M}_4$ solutions of $D=7$ gauged supergravity, where $\mathbb{M}_4$ are four-dimensional toric orbifolds…

In this thesis, we investigate all warped AdS$_4$ and AdS$_3$ backgrounds with the most general allowed fluxes that preserve more than 16 supersymmetries in 10- and 11-dimensional supergravities. Assuming either that the internal manifold…

We consider warped type IIB supergravity solutions with three-form flux and ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetry, which arise as the supergravity duals of confining gauge theories. We first work in a perturbation expansion around $AdS_5 \times S^5$,…

We derive a geometrical characterisation of a large class of AdS_3 and AdS_2 supersymmetric spacetimes in IIB supergravity with non-vanishing five-form flux using G-structures. These are obtained as special cases of a class of…

For the most general supersymmetric solutions of type IIB supergravity consisting of a warped product of AdS_5 with a five-dimensional manifold M_5, we construct an explicit consistent Kaluza-Klein reduction on M_5 to minimal D=5 gauged…

We examine the stability of some non-supersymmetric supergravity solutions that have been found recently. The first solution is AdS_5 X M_6, for M_6 an stretched CP^3. We consider breathing and squashing mode deformations of the metric, and…

We use $E_{8(8)}$ Exceptional Field Theory to construct the consistent truncation of IIB supergravity on $S^3 \times S^3 \times S^1$ to maximal 3-dimensional ${\cal N}=16$ gauged supergravity containing the ${\cal N}=(4,4)$ AdS$_3$ vacuum.…

All symmetric space AdS(n) solutions of ten-dimensional type IIA and type IIB supergravity are constructed for n>2. There are a total of 26 geometries. Out of these only 7 allow for supersymmetries and these are the well known backgrounds…

I discuss recent supergravity constructions of type IIB holographic interfaces in four-dimensional ${\cal N}=1$ and ${\cal N}=4$ field theories. I explain how each holographic interface can be compactified on a circle with an SL$(2,{\bf…

We simplify and extend the construction of half-BPS solutions to 11-dimensional supergravity, with isometry superalgebra D(2,1;\gamma) \oplus D(2,1;\gamma). Their space-time has the form AdS_3 x S^3 x S^3 warped over a Riemann surface…

We couple n copies of N=(2,0) scalar multiplets to a gauged N=(2,0) supergravity in 2+1 dimensions which admits AdS_3 as a vacuum. The scalar fields are charged under the gauged R-symmetry group U(1) and parametrize certain Kahler manifolds…
