New N=1 AdS4 solutions of type IIB supergravity

We construct analytically a new family of supersymmetric AdS(4) solutions of IIB supergravity, with the internal space provided by a deformed S-5 x S-1. The solutions preserve N = 1 supersymmetry and an SO(3) subgroup of isometries of S-5, which is broken to U(1) along a flat direction. They are further parametrised by a winding number and a choice of SL(2) duality twist along the circle in an elliptic conjugacy class, thus including both globally geometric and S-fold configurations. We identify these solutions by first constructing a new family of vacua of D = 4, U(4) (sic) R-12 gauged maximal supergravity and use exceptional field theory to perform the uplift to ten dimensions. We discuss the relevance of D = 5 Wilson loops associated to preserved and broken gauge symmetries in the construction of these classes of solutions.

Automated summary

We analytically construct a new family of supersymmetric AdS(4) solutions with specific internal space and symmetry breaking features, and discuss their relevance using gravity theory and field theory.
