New $\text{AdS}_2/\text{CFT}_1$ pairs from $\text{AdS}_3$ and monopole bubbling (2304.11003v1)

Abstract: We present general results on generating $\text{AdS}_2$ solutions to Type II supergravity from $\text{AdS}_3$ solutions via U(1) and SL(2) T-dualities. We focus on a class of Type IIB solutions with small $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetry, that we show can be embedded into a more general class of solutions obtained by double analytical continuation from $\text{AdS}_3$ geometries with small $\mathcal{N}=(0,4)$ supersymmetry constructed in the literature. We then start the analysis of the superconformal quantum mechanics dual to the $\mathcal{N}=4$ backgrounds focusing on a subclass of $\text{AdS}_2\times\text{S}^3\times\mathbb{T}^3$ solutions foliated over a Riemann surface. We show that the associated supersymmetric quantum mechanics describes monopole bubbling in 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories living in D3-D7 branes, as previously discussed in the literature. Therefore, we propose that our solutions provide a geometrical description via holography of monopole bubbling in 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ SCFTs. We check our proposal with the computation of the central charge.
