Description

Through consistent Kaluza-Klein reduction, we construct 3D N=2 gauged supergravities corresponding to twisted compactifications of M5-branes on a product of constant curvature Riemann surfaces, including Kähler-Einstein four-manifolds. We extend the reduction to fermionic supersymmetry variations in order to determine the 3D Killing spinor equations and classify all timelike supersymmetric solutions. As a by-product, we identify an infinite class of new supersymmetric warped AdS3 (Gödel) and warped dS3 solutions. Moreover, we show that the superpotential T encodes the central charge and R symmetry of the dual N=(0,2) SCFTs in the large N limit. We demonstrate that the R symmetry matches the canonical U(1) isometry from existing classifications of supersymmetric AdS3 solutions to 11D supergravity with N=(0,2) supersymmetry.
