It was argued in [1] that the (NHEK) geometry can be embedded in String Theory as the infrared region of an innite family of non-supersymmetric geometries that have D1, D5, momentum and KK monopole charges. We show that there exists a method to embed these geometries into asymptotically-AdS3 S3=ZN solutions, and hence to obtain in nite families of ows whose infrared is NHEK.

The Kerr-CFT conjecture [2] relates the near-horizon geometry of an extremal Kerr black
hole [3] to a putative 1+1 dimensional conformal eld theory whose central charges are
given by the angular momenta of this black hole. This connection allows one to count
microscopically the entropy of extremal Kerr black holes, and its discovery is an important
step in extending the powerful machinery of string theory to analyze non-supersymmetric
black holes.
Unfortunately, besides the central charge, very little is known about the CFT dual to
the Near-Horizon Extremal Kerr (NHEK) geometry. In particular, it is not known whether
this CFT can be realized as the infrared xed point of a Renormalization Group (RG) ow
from a known UV theory, or as a low-energy theory on a system of strings and branes.
In order to achieve such a construction it is important to embed the NHEK geometry in
String Theory, and to look for a system of branes that, when gravity is turned on, gives rise
to a NHEK geometry. The rst attempt at such an embedding was made by the authors
of [4, 5], who constructed a solution with D1, D5 and Taub-NUT charges, that has a
vedimensional NHEK geometry in the infrared. However, this solution has xed moduli, and
hence does not allow one to search for a microscopic theory that ows in the infrared to
the CFT dual to NHEK.
{ 1 {
In [
1
], it was shown that one can embed the ve-dimensional NHEK geometry in a very
large family of supergravity solutions, parameterized by several continuous parameters, and
that moreover one can obtain multicenter solutions where the geometry near one of the
centers is NHEK. All these solutions belong to a class of extremal non-supersymmetric
solutions that can be obtained by performing a duality sequence known as generalized
spectral ow [6] on the well-known almost-BPS solutions [7, 8].1 The existence of this very
large family of solutions that have a NHEK region in the infrared raises the hope that one
may be able to nd a ow from a UV that is AdS to the NHEK geometry in the infrared.
This would imply that the UV CFT is a \nice" local CFT, with well-understood operators,
etc. One could then go ahead and investigate this UV CFT and
nd which operators
procedures to embed the in nite families of multicenter solutions with NHEK regions [
1
]
into asymptotically-AdS3 solutions. The rst procedure is to use the explicit form of the
solutions [
1
] and to investigate various limits of the parameters that control the UV of these
solutions in order to produce an AdS factor in the metric. The second is to make clever
use of the fact that the only di erence between the asymptotics of BPS and almost-BPS
solutions is the sign of one of the electric elds [7], of the fact that BPS solutions transform
under generalized spectral ows into other BPS solutions [6], and of the fact that BPS
solutions develop an AdS3 UV region when certain of their moduli are put to zero, in order
to perform a systematic search for solutions with a NHEK infrared and an AdS3 UV.
At rst glance, both these procedures should be automatically successful. The
asymptotics of the solutions is controlled by 17 parameters, and if one sets to zero the constant,
1 and cos2 terms in g
and certain divergent components of the elds one should obtain
a 10-parameter family of solutions that have the leading radial component of the metric of
the form d 22 , which is the hallmark of an asymptotically-AdS solution. However, things are
not so simple. Most of the solutions obtained in this class have closed timelike curves, and
if one tries to naively impose all the conditions that eliminate the closed timelike curves
none of the asymptotically-AdS solution seem to survive. Similarly, if one tries to obtain
these solutions by relating BPS and almost-BPS solutions (as we will explain in detail
in appendix A) at the end one has to solve 7 equations for 17 variables, which however
appear at rst glance to have no solution. Thus, despite the presence of a large number of
available constants, neither of the two hunting methods we use seems to be very willing to
yield asymptotically-AdS solutions.
Fortunately, a careful analysis reveals that things are not so bleak. Indeed, we nd
that among the many ways to solve the constraints associated to the absence of closed
timelike curves, there is one that produces nontrivial solutions that are asymptotically
AdS3
S3=ZN . Furthermore, the second method produces exactly the same solution, which
we take as a remarkable con rmation that we have really identi ed the way to construct
solutions that have an AdS3 factor in the UV and NHEK in the IR. The existence of such
a class of ows has several important implications.

{ 2 {
The rst is for the debate whether the theory dual to the NHEK geometry can be
described as the infrared limit of a local CFT2 or only of a non-local one. Since the NHEK
geometry can be obtained by a certain identi cation of an (uncompacti ed) warped AdS3
geometry, it was argued in [13] that the theory dual to NHEK is the DLCQ of a
nonlocal theory which is dual to warped AdS3 (oftentimes known as a \dipole" quantum
eld theory).
Another proposal is that the dual to NHEK is given by the identi
cation of a more exotic type of conformal eld theory, called warped-CFT (wCFT) [14{16],
which would be a local theory [17]. Our construction shows that the theory dual to the
NHEK geometry could be equally well obtained as the IR
xed point of many RG
ows
of \vanilla CFT's" and hence it can be understood without resorting to wCFT's or dipole
needs to turn on to ow to a NHEK infrared,3 and in particular whether this deformation
is similar to the one that triggers the RG
ow of the asymptotically AdS3
the near-horizon AdS3 of a BPS black ring [20], or whether it is rather a deformation of the
Lagrangian. Thus, the existence of this family of ows opens a new route for determining
S3 solution to
what the CFT dual to 5D NHEK is.
In addition to embedding the NHEK-containing solutions of [
1
] in AdS3, we also
construct the full form of their R-R three-form
eld strength. These solutions can be obtained
by dualizing the twice-spectrally- owed almost BPS solutions that were constructed in the
M2-M2-M2 duality frame in [21] to the D1-D5-P duality frame. In [
1
] this duality
transformation was performed for the metric and the dilaton, which was enough to ascertain
the existence of these solutions and to perform some basic regularity checks. However,
to perform all the regularity checks and to be able to understand all the properties of
these solutions one must also construct this three-form explicitly. As we will see in
appendix B, even if this construction involves several duality transformations that act rather
nontrivially on the R-R
elds, the
nal implicit form of the expression that give
threeform
eld strength is quite simple. However, its explicit form is much more complicated
than for BPS and almost-BPS solutions, even after making several simplifying assumptions
(equation (2.21)).
Besides its importance for the programme of embedding the NHEK geometry in String
Theory, the calculation of the R-R three-form also lls an important gap in our knowledge of
almost-BPS solutions and generalized spectral ows thereof. Indeed, the full solution that
comes from applying three generalized spectral ows on an almost-BPS solution has so far
only been constructed in the M2-M2-M2 duality frame [21]. Writing some of these solutions
in the D1-D5-P duality frame allows one to embed these solutions into six-dimensional

ungauged supergravity and explore whether these solutions belong to a larger class of
wiggly solutions, as it happens when supersymmetry is preserved [22, 23].
This paper is organized as follows. In section 2 we review the family of supergravity
solutions that contain NHEK regions in the infrared and that can be obtained by a
sequence of generalized spectral ow transformations from almost-BPS solutions with D1,
D5, momentum and KK monopole charges. We then
nd the explicit R-R
elds for these
solutions whose derivation is given in appendix B. In section 3 and appendix A we
develop two di erent systematic procedures to search for solutions with an AdS UV, and
identify a sub-class of the large family of supergravity backgrounds with a NHEK infrared
constructed in [
1
] that have an AdS3
S3=ZN asymptotic region.

In nite families of NHEK embeddings in String Theory
In [
1
] it was shown that an in nite family of IIB supergravity solutions with a NHEK
infrared can be obtained by performing generalized spectral ow transformations [6, 21]
on a class of non-supersymmetric, \almost-BPS", multicenter supergravity solutions [7, 8]
whose charges correspond to D1 and D5 branes, momentum and KK monopoles. However,
in [
1
] only the metric and dilaton have been constructed. While this was enough to ascertain
the existence of such solutions, in order to perform all regularity checks, calculate their
asymptotic charges or use holography to read o the features of the UV CFT, the explicit
expressions for the R-R
elds are needed. It is the purpose of this section to complete
the construction of the supergravity solutions that contain a NHEK infrared by explicitly
computing these R-R elds.

In order to complete the solution of [

expression for this ux has a similar form as that of almost-BPS solutions:
where the ve-dimensional Hodge star is with respect to the time- bration over the
fourdimensional base space (2.14).
HJEP05(216)
2.3
Towards the full explicit form of the R-R elds
Despite its apparent simplicity, the explicit expression of Fe(3) in terms of the harmonic
functions determining the solutions is a very complicated nested expression. In particular
the action of the ve-dimensional Hodge star involves repeated use of several of the tilded
forms and functions and the application of the almost-BPS equations (2.7){(2.12).
The purpose of this subsection is to give the complete explicit form of this eld for a
certain sub-class of solutions. We will restrict ourselves to solutions with
= 0 (yet keeping
! 6= 0), that only have constant terms in the KI harmonic functions (corresponding to
Wilson lines along the Taub-NUT direction in
ve dimensions and to axion vev's in four
dimensions) but no poles. The class of solutions whose explicit three-form
eld we
nd
does not include the asymptotically-AdS3 solutions that are the main focus of this paper.
However, we hope that the (rather complicated) expression we nd will be an important
stepping stone for nding the three-form of that more complicated class of solutions.
To facilitate the calculation we note that while the rst two generalized spectral ows
with parameters 1
; 2 act non-trivially on the solution the third spectral ow with
parameter 3 corresponds to a coordinate transformation. Hence, without loss of generality
we can set 3 = 0 (which implies that T3 = 1). To obtain an explicit expression for the
three-form
ux from (2.20) we express all ve-dimensional Hodge stars in terms of
threedimensional ones and make successive use of the almost-BPS equations (2.7){(2.12). We
refer to appendix B for the details.
The explicit expression for the three-form
ux is:
We now explore the asymptotics of the supergravity solutions of section 2 and, in particular,
whether it is possible to construct a geometry with an AdS3 ultraviolet and a NHEK
infrared. We will pursue two strategies. The rst is to investigate various limits of the
parameters controlling the UV of these solutions in order to produce an AdS factor in
the metric. The asymptotics of the solutions is controlled by 17 parameters. Setting to
zero the constant, 1 , cos
and cos2 terms in g
and certain divergent components of the
elds should yield a 10-parameter family of solutions whose leading radial component of
the metric is of the form d 2
2 characteristic of AdS solutions. The second strategy, which
we will present in appendix A, makes clever use of the relations between the asymptotics
of BPS and almost-BPS solutions and turns out to give exactly the same class of solutions
as the rst strategy.
3.1
Solutions with NHEK infrared
The supergravity solutions of section 2.2 can have multiple centers where the geometry near
one of the centers is NHEK. Our starting point to look for solutions with AdS asymptotics
is a two-center solution where in addition to the non-BPS D1-D5-P-KK black hole that
becomes the NHEK geometry in the infrared we add another smooth center corresponding
to a supertube. The asymptotics of this solution are prototypical for all solutions in the
class constructed in [
1
] and, as we will see, the conditions that ensure that the nal solution
is asymptotically-AdS3 do not depend on the particular distribution of centers and charges
in the infrared.
One can ask whether there is any reason behind our strategy to try to embed the
NHEK solution in an asymptotically-AdS3 solution that has two or more centers, and
hence topological-nontrivial three-cycles. Our original inspiration came from three-charge
BPS black ring solutions [24, 26, 27] embedded in an asymptotically AdS3
S3 solution [20]:
these rings have another AdS3 region in the vicinity of the black ring center, with smaller
AdS radius; thus the black ring solution can be thought of as an RG
ow from a CFT in
the UV to a CFT with lower central charge in the IR. The full solution has a
topologicallynontrivial three-sphere at whose North Pole this smaller AdS3 sits.
One can also see by direct calculation that a multicenter solution is necessary to get
a NHEK region in the infrared. One could try to start from a single-center solution and
{ 8 {
play with the constants in the harmonic functions to obtain a cohomogeneity-one solution
with an AdS3 UV, but one will nd that the infrared of this solution is always AdS3. This
is essentially because in a single-center solution the KI harmonic functions are constant,6
and hence their value is the same at in nity and at the black hole. The only way to get
something other than AdS3 in the infrared is to makes those values di erent by introducing
additional sources for KI , and thus additional centers.
Hence, we begin by considering a two-center solution with a Taub-NUT base containing
a non-BPS black hole and a supertube at distance R in the R3 base of the Taub-NUT space.
The solution is easiest to describe using two sets of spherical coordinates, one centered at
the black hole ( ; ) and another centered at the supertube ( ;

the type IIA duality frame. We adapt this solution for our purpose, by turning o a charge and two dipole
charges of the black ring to transform it into a supertube.

Hunting for AdS asymptotics
We now explore the UV structure of the metric (2.13) speci ed by the functions in
section 3.1. To simplify the analysis we make use of the fact that the third spectral ow
corresponds to a coordinate transformation and so we can set 3 = 0 without loss of
generality. On the other hand, for the IR to correspond to NHEK, 1 and 2 must be
non-vanishing. For the UV to be AdS we need the radial part of the metric to behave as
g
d 2= 2 at large . From (2.13) and (2.14) we read o the radial part of the metric:

where in the second line we have expanded the no-CTC condition in the UV. Since the
constants `I0 are non-negative and the charges QI , e1, e2 in ZI are strictly positive, to avoid
CTCs we also need the constant v0 to be non-negative and the KK monopole charge qKK
to be strictly positive. Altogether we have:
`I0; v0 > 0 ;
QI ; e1; e2; qKK > 0 :
The condition (3.22) is equivalent to the existence of a global time function [29].
In the following we will solve the constraints (3.17) and (3.19) of section 3.2. It is useful
to consider separately the solutions where `03 = 0 and `03 6= 0.

however, kills the sought after d 2
= 2 term in the metric. Hence, the solutions in section 3.1
with `03 6= 0 do not have an asymptotic AdS metric.
When `03 vanishes, the non-negativity of the leading part of the no-CTC condition (3.22)
imposes:
,
2 = 0 one can see that one must also have `01 = `
The constraints n1 = n2 = 0 are then automatically satis ed. To satisfy the no-CTC
condition (3.22) at order 1= 2 implies

(3.37)
where we used the usual relation between the supertube charges, dipole charges and
angular momentum. The distance between the centers, R, is determined once the constants
controlling the UV are xed. With these constraints the leading radial metric component
is d 2
= 2 and the ultraviolet is free of CTCs. To ensure that there are no CTCs in the
infrared we expand (3.22) for small :

which can always be satis ed by taking Q1; Q2 su ciently large. The no-CTC
conditions (3.21) are automatically satis ed near the black hole. It is also trivial to check that
the determinant of the UV metric at leading order is constant and negative:

9One can also satisfy 1 = 2 = 0 by setting v0 = 0. This would, however, set j = 0 which is inconsistent
since the supertube has non-vanishing angular momentum.
10This is a consequence of having only one non-vanishing dipole charge (d3 in K3). Replacing the
supertube by a black ring turns on extra dipole charges, d1 and d2, in respectively K1 and K2 and in such
a solution T1 6= 0, T2 6= 0.
3.4
We now summarize the features of the solutions that contain a NHEK region [
1
] and have
an AdS3 UV. The complete bulk metric is given by (2.13) of section 2.2 and is speci ed
by the harmonic functions (3.2) of section 3.1. For the UV of the metric (2.13) to have
a leading radial component d 2
= 2 we have to constrain the constants that appear in the
harmonic functions that determine the solution:
Absence of CTCs requires positivity of the charges (3.24) and
c =
This equation enforces the cancelation of the sin2
term in the asymptotics of !,
and is necessary for avoiding CTCs only when the asymptotics is AdS. This cancelation
is equivalent to the vanishing of the total four-dimensional angular momentum (JR) of
the solution. In the particular solution we consider, this angular momentum has both a
contribution from the black hole as well as a contribution coming from the interaction
between the magnetic dipole charge of the supertube and the electric charge of the black
hole, and equation (3.39) forces these contributions to cancel each other.
For a more general multicenter solution containing one or more black holes (whose
near-horizon regions are transformed by the generalized spectral ows into a NHEK region),
there will be more contributions to JR (see for example [30]), and we expect that the only
requirements to have asymptotically-AdS3 solutions are that the constants entering in the
harmonic functions satisfy (3.38) and that the total JR vanishes.
Of course, the more general multicenter solutions will also have to satisfy the
corresponding bubble equations, which for the two-center solution we focus on are quite simple:
but in general will be much more complicated [8].

Throats with a NHEK | an alternative approach
In section 3 we carried out a systematic analysis for embedding the multicenter solutions
containing NHEK regions in an asymptotic AdS geometry and identi ed a set of constraints
that have to be satis ed. We now describe a second approach that yields the same set of
constraints.
The leading and subleading asymptotics of an almost-BPS solution is controlled by 17
parameters, and the same is true for its BPS equivalent. Generalized spectral ows shu e
these parameters in a certain way, and at the end one has to
x 7 of these parameters in
order to obtain an AdS3 UV. Since the near-horizon of any almost-BPS black hole can be
transformed into a NHEK geometry by choosing the appropriate generalized spectral ow
parameters [
1
], this implies that there should be at least a 10-parameter family of solutions
with NHEK IR and an AdS3 UV. However, as emphasized in the Introduction, most of the
solutions have closed timelike curves, which have to be eliminated (as we also did in the
approach described in section 3). At the end we will nd that this approach only produces
one way to get a solution that is asymptotically AdS3 and free of CTCs and this is exactly
the same solution as the one obtained in section 3!
The method. The procedure which we will now develop makes clever use of the fact that
the only di erence between the asymptotics of BPS and almost-BPS solutions is the sign
of one of the electric elds [7], of the fact that BPS solutions transform under generalized
spectral ows into other BPS solutions [6], and of the fact that BPS solutions develop an
AdS3 UV region when certain of their moduli are put to zero.11 The procedure we follow
is summarized in this illustration:

We start with a BPS solution that has an asymptotic AdS3 geometry. We then perform
two BPS generalized spectral ow transformations (gSF) that yields another BPS solution
whose asymptotics we identify with those of the almost-BPS solution of section 3.1 (to
distinguish the BPS and almost-BPS solutions whose asymptotics we are matching we use,
respectively, + and
sub/super scripts). This xes some of the moduli of the almost-BPS
solution. Applying two non-BPS generalized spectral ow transformations to this
almostBPS solution yields a non-BPS solution which contains a NHEK geometry in the IR and
whose UV we show to correspond to an AdS3 geometry.

Hunting for AdS3. In a BPS solution that is determined by 8 harmonic functions [27,
31, 32] one can read o the asymptotics and charges from H = h + P

vector of constants and tot = lim !1
i ii is the total charge vector as determined by

which agrees precisely with the results (3.38) of our analysis in section 3.3. The extra
condition on c in (3.39) follows from the requirement that there be no closed time-like
curves | a condition we also have to impose here. Hence, the method described here
yields exactly the same solution as the one discussed in section 3.3 and we take this as a
remarkable con rmation that we have really identi ed the ow from AdS3 to NHEK.

In [
1
] it was shown that a large class of supergravity solutions with a NHEK infrared
can be obtained by dualizing the twice-spectrally- owed almost-BPS solutions that were
constructed in the M2-M2-M2 duality frame in [21] to the D1-D5-P duality frame. In [
1
]
this duality transformation has been performed on the metric and dilaton, but not the R-R
elds. We now complete this class of supergravity solutions by computing the R-R elds
in the D1-D5-P duality frame.
From M2-M2-M2 to D1-D5-P.
The metric and three-form gauge potential of the
twice-spectrally owed M2-M2-M2 solution obtained in [21] are given by
where dTI denote the volume forms of the three two-tori TI2 and ds21 = dx24 + dx25, ds22 =
dx26 + dx27, ds23 = dx28 + dx29, denote the metrics on the latter. We use the shortcut notation
(Z~1Z~2Z~3)1=3 and all tilded quantities are de ned in (2.17){(2.18). To bring this
solution to the D1-D5-P duality frame we have to perform a Kaluza-Klein reduction on
one of the torus legs followed by a sequence of three T-duality transformations. Note that
this parallels the chain of dualities derived in [
25
] for dualizing BPS solutions.
• KK reduction on x9. The Kaluza-Klein reduction of the solution (B.1) along the x9
direction (renaming the remaining leg of the torus x10
z) yields14
(B.1)
(B.2)
F (4) = dC(3) + dB(2)
^ C(1) = dA~1 ^ dT1 + dA~2 ^ dT2 :
14Note that the sign in the expression for B(2) in (B.2) depends on which torus leg we compactify; if we
chose to reduce along x10 rather than x9 the minus sign in (B.2) would turn into a plus sign. Anticipating
that B(2) will become part of the metric and three-form
ux after the
nal T-duality along z (B.7) this
explains the relative sign between dz and, respectively, A3 in (2.1) and Ae3 in (2.13).

Note that this expression has the same form as the R-R three-form ux (2.2) of the
almostBPS solution. However, (B.8) is considerably more complicated. In particular, the action
(B.5)
(B.7)
(B.8)
of the ve-dimensional Hodge star on this expression involves repeated use of expressions of
the tilded forms and functions, as well the simpli cation of the result using the almost-BPS
equations (2.7){(2.12).
To give the explicit form we make some simplifying assumptions. We will restrict
ourselves to solutions with
= 0 (yet keeping ! 6= 0), and allow the KI to be constants
(dKI = 0). Computing the explicit form of the three-form
ux for more general solutions
is much more complicated and we will not address it here.
As mentioned before, the third spectral ow corresponds to a coordinate
transformation in the D1-D5-P duality frame, so without loss of generality we only focus on the
solution obtained after two spectral ows and set 3 = 0. This leads to considerable
simpli cations. Since T3 = 1 + 3K3 and K3 = const < 1 we have T3 = 1 and the tilded
functions (2.17){(2.18) relevant here simplify to
