Supersymmetric AdS$_6$ black holes from ISO(3)xU(1) F(4) gauged supergravity

Abstract

We study supersymmetric $AdS_6$ black holes from matter-coupled $F(4)$ gauged supergravity coupled to four vector multiplets with $ISO(3)\times U(1)$ gauge group. This gauged supergravity admits a maximally supersymmetric $AdS_6$ vacuum with $SO(3)\subset ISO(3)$ symmetry. We find a number of new supersymmetric $AdS_2\times \mathcal{M}_4$ solutions by performing topological twists along $\mathcal{M}_4$. For $\mathcal{M}_4$ being a product of two Riemann surfaces $\Sigma\times \widetilde{\Sigma}$, we perform a twist by $SO(2)\times U(1)$ gauge fields and find $AdS_2\times \Sigma\times \widetilde{\Sigma}$ solutions for at least one of the Riemann surface being negatively curved. For $\mathcal{M}_4$ being a Kahler four-cycle $\mathcal{M}_{\textrm{K}4}$, a twist by $SO(2)\times U(1)$ gauge fields leads to $AdS_2\times \mathcal{M}_{\textrm{K}4}^-$ solutions for negatively curved $\mathcal{M}_{\textrm{K}4}$. Finally, performing a twist by turning on $SO(3)$ gauge fields in the case of $\mathcal{M}_4$ being a Cayley four-cycle $\mathcal{M}_{\textrm{C}4}$ also leads to $AdS_2\times \mathcal{M}_{\textrm{C}4}^-$ solutions for negatively curved $\mathcal{M}_{\textrm{C}4}$. We give numerical black hole solutions interpolating between all of these $AdS_2\times \mathcal{M}_4$ near horizon geometries and the asymptotically locally $AdS_6$ vacuum. It is also possible to uplift all of these solutions to type IIB theory via consistent truncations on $S^2\times \Sigma$ leading to a new class of supersymmetric $AdS_2\times \mathcal{M}_4\times S^2\times \Sigma$ solutions.
