Abstract

We construct the most general single-mode superstrata in 5 dimensions with ambipolar, two centered Gibbons Hawking bases, via dimensional reduction of superstrata in 6 dimensions. Previously, asymptotically AdS3×S2\text{AdS}_{3}\times \mathbb{S}^{2} 5-dimensional superstrata have been produced, giving microstate geometries of black strings in 5 dimensions. Our construction produces asymptotically AdS2×S3\text{AdS}_{2}\times \mathbb{S}^{3} geometries as well, the first instances of superstrata describing the microstate geometries of black holes in 5 dimensions. New examples of superstrata with separable massless wave equations in both 5 and 6 dimensions are uncovered. A Z2\mathbb{Z}_{2} symmetry which identifies distinct 6-dimensional superstrata when reduced to 5 dimensions is found. Finally we use the mathematical structure of the underlying hyper-K\"{a}hler bases to produce prepotentials for the superstrata fluxes in 5 dimensions and uplift them to apply in 6 dimensions as well.
