On type IIB AdS$_{3}$ flux vacua with scale separation and integer conformal dimensions (2504.21508v1)

Abstract: We review recent progress in constructing type IIB AdS${3}$ flux vacua that exhibit parametrically-controlled scale separation and come along with integer-valued conformal dimensions for the would-be dual CFT${2}$ operators. We comment on the anisotropic nature of the associated internal spaces, as well as on the existence of polynomial shift symmetries underlying the mass spectra. We conclude by outlining open questions and potential directions for future research, partially inspired by the Swampland program.
