Title: Gravity duals of $$ \mathcal{N}=\left(0,\ 2\right) $$ SCFTs from M5-branes

Abstract

We describe the general BPS system that governs the gravity duals of N=(0, 2) two-dimensional superconformal field theories in the low-energy limit of M5-branes on a four-manifold, M₄. In order to preserve supersymmetry, we restrict to cases where the four-manifold is embedded in a Calabi-Yau fourfold that is a sum of two line bundles over M₄. We further reduce the N=(0, 2) system to describe the gravity duals of SCFTs with N=(0,4) and N=(2,2) supersymmetry. In the first case, the solutions fit in the larger class of AdS₃ ×S² × CY₃ solutions of M-theory dual to N=(0,4) SCFTs. In the case of the N=(2,2) theories, the near-horizon limit of M₄ is necessarily a product of two constant curvature Riemann surfaces whose metrics are governed by a pair of Liouville equations.
