Abstract

At the level of the bosonic fields, we construct consistent Kaluza--Klein reductions of D=11 supergravity on Σ3×S4\Sigma_3\times S^4, where Σ3=H3/Γ,S3/Γ\Sigma_3=H^3/\Gamma,S^3/\Gamma or R3/ΓR^3/\Gamma where Γ\Gamma is a discrete group of isometries. The result is the bosonic content of an N=2 D=4 gauged supergravity with a single vector multiplet and two hypermultiplets, whose scalar fields parametrise SU(1,1)/U(1)×G2(2)/SO(4)SU(1,1)/U(1)\times G_{2(2)}/SO(4). %, and the gauging is only in the hypermultiplet When Σ3=H3/Γ\Sigma_3=H^3/\Gamma the D=4 theory has an AdS4AdS_4 vacuum which uplifts to the known supersymmetric AdS4×H3/Γ×S4AdS_4\times H^3/\Gamma\times S^4 solution of D=11 supergravity that describes the N=2 d=3d=3 SCFT arising when M5-branes wrap SLag 3-cycles H3/ΓH^3/\Gamma in Calabi-Yau three-folds. We use the KK reduction for Σ3=H3/Γ\Sigma_3=H^3/\Gamma to construct D=11 black hole solutions that describe these d=3 SCFTs at finite temperature and charge density and show that there is a superconducting instability involving a charged scalar field, and another instability involving involving neutral fields including both scalar and vector fields. We also use this KK reduction to construct a D=11 Lifshitz solution that is dual to a d=3 field theory with dynamical exponent z39z\sim 39.
