Abstract

We discuss a continuous family of nonsupersymmetric AdS3×S3×T4 vacua in heterotic and type II supergravities whose complete Kaluza-Klein spectrum is computed and found to be free from instabilities. This family is protected as well against some nonperturbative decay channels, and as such it provides the first candidate for a nonsupersymmetric holographic conformal manifold in 2D. We also describe the operators realizing the deformations in the world sheet and boundary conformal field theories.
