AdS$_6$ T-duals and AdS$_6 \times S^2$ geometries in Type IIB

Abstract

We summarise the recent results in 1810.08093, where the Type IIB AdS$_6$ solutions T-dual to the Brandhuber-Oz solution to massive Type IIA supergravity are shown to fit within an extension to allow for delocalized 5- and 7-branes of the global AdS$_6 \times S^2$ solutions constructed by D'Hoker, Gutperle and Uhlemann. We show that the Abelian T-dual solution provides an explicit example of a Riemann surface with the topology of an annulus.
