The complete spectrum of D=6, N=4b supergravity with n tensor multiplets compactified on AdS_3 x S^3 is determined. The D=6 theory obtained from the K_3 compactification of Type IIB string requires that n=21, but we let n be arbitrary. The superalgebra that underlies the symmetry of the resulting supergravity theory in AdS_3 coupled to matter is SU(1,1|2)_L x SU(1,1|2)_R. The theory also has an unbroken global SO(4)_R x SO(n) symmetry inherited from D=6. The spectrum of states arranges itself into a tower of spin-2 supermultiplets, a tower of spin-1, SO(n) singlet supermultiplets, a tower of spin-1 supermultiplets in the vector representation of SO(n) and a special spin-1/2 supermultiplet also in the vector representation of SO(n). The SU(2)_L x SU(2)_R Yang-Mills states reside in the second level of the spin-2 tower and the lowest level of the spin-1, SO(n) singlet tower and the associated field theory exhibits interesting properties.

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 8.0 of 10

    The resolved elliptic genus refines the supersymmetry index for the D1-D5 CFT by summing only over symmetry sectors that mix under a deformed supercharge, yielding agreement with supergravity below the black-hole thre...

    The one-loop correction to the O(16)×O(16) heterotic vacuum on AdS3×S3×T4 raises the cosmological constant but never uplifts it to de Sitter for any flux integers, and the Kaluza-Klein modes of the six-dimensional fie...

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    One-loop free energies of the three AdS3 x S3 M5 brane probes vanish, confirming the absence of order N^0 terms in the defect b-anomaly coefficients.
