Abstract
We employ a non-compact gauging of four-dimensional maximal supergravity to construct a two-parameter family of AdS4 J-fold solutions preserving \( \mathcal{N} \) = 2 supersymmetry. All solutions preserve \( \mathfrak{u} \)(1) × \( \mathfrak{u} \)(1) global symmetry and in special limits we recover the previously known \( \mathfrak{su} \)(2) × \( \mathfrak{u} \)(1) invariant \( \mathcal{N} \) = 2 and \( \mathfrak{su} \)(2) × \( \mathfrak{su} \)(2) invariant \( \mathcal{N} \) = 4 J-fold solutions. This family of AdS4 backgrounds can be uplifted to type IIB string theory and is holographically dual to the conformal manifold of a class of three-dimensional S-fold SCFTs obtained from the \( \mathcal{N} \) = 4 T [U(N)] theory of Gaiotto-Witten. We find the spectrum of supergravity excitations of the AdS4 solutions and use it to study how the operator spectrum of the three-dimensional SCFT depends on the exactly marginal couplings.
