Erratum to: AdS(6) solutions of type II supergravity. Journal of High Energy Physics 2014 (2014), Nr. 11. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/JHEP11(2014)099

Very few AdS6 × M4 supersymmetric solutions are known: one in massive IIA, and two IIB solutions dual to it. The IIA solution is known to be unique; in this paper, we use the pure spinor approach to give a classification for IIB supergravity. We reduce the problem to two PDEs on a two-dimensional space Σ. M4 is then a fibration of S2 over Σ; the metric and fluxes are completely determined in terms of the solution to the PDEs. The results seem likely to accommodate near-horizon limits of (p, q)-fivebrane webs studied in the literature as a source of CFT5’s. We also show that there are no AdS6 solutions in eleven-dimensional supergravity., SCOPUS: ar.j, info:eu-repo/semantics/published

In M-theory, the only AdS7 supersymmetric solutions are AdS 7 × S 4 and its orbifolds. In this paper, we find and classify new supersymmetric solutions of the type AdS7 × M 3 in type II supergravity. While in IIB none exist, in IIA with Romans mass (which does not lift to M-theory) there are many new ones. We use a pure spinor approach reminiscent of generalized complex geometry. Without the need for any Ansatz, the system determines uniquely the form of the metric and fluxes, up to solving a system of ODEs. Namely, the metric on M 3 is that of an S 2 fibered over an interval; this is consistent with the Sp(1) R-symmetry of the holographically dual (1,0) theory. By including D8 brane sources, one can numerically obtain regular solutions, where topologically M 3 ≅ S 3. © 2014 The Author(s)., SCOPUS: ar.j, info:eu-repo/semantics/published
