AdS3 solutions of IIB supergravity from D3-branes -: art. no. 094

We consider pure D3-brane configurations of IIB string theory which lead to supersymmetric solutions containing an AdS(3) factor. They can provide new examples of AdS(3)/CFT2 duality pairs on D3-branes whose worldvolume is partially compactified. When the internal 7 dimensional space is non-compact, they can be identified as supersymmetric fluctuations of higher dimensional AdS solutions and are in general dual to 1/8-BPS operators thereof. We find that supersymmetry requires the 7 dimensional space take the form of a warped U(1) fibration over a 6 dimensional Kahler manifold.
