Blackening S-folds

Abstract

Abstract We construct the universal AdS4 black hole that asymptotes to the (φ, χ)-family of type IIB S-fold backgrounds dual to the conformal manifold of N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 S-fold CFT’s. We present the explicit type IIB embedding of such a universal black hole for two particular asymptotics: the N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 S-fold with U(2) symmetry at (φ, χ) = (0, 0) and the N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 S-fold with SO(4) symmetry at (φ, χ) = (1, 0). As a byproduct, we also present a novel two-parameter family of AdS2 × M8 supersymmetric S-fold backgrounds with M8 = ℍ 2 × S5 × S1 that features a parametrically-controlled scale separation involving some of the internal directions.
