Zusammenfassung: | We construct large families of supergravity solutions that are asymptotic to AdS\(_2\) and terminate with a cap that is singular in two dimensions but smooth in higher dimensions. These solutions break supersymmetry and conformal invariance. We list arguments suggesting that they correspond to finite-energy excitations in empty AdS\(_2\) that back-react on the geometry by inducing non-trivial bubbling topology. They are constructed from the novel technique associated with the Ernst formalism for AdS\(_D\times\mathcal{C}\) solitons in supergravity \cite{Bah:2022pdn}. The technique is applied to \(D=2\) in M-theory with \(\mathcal{C}=\,\)S\(^3\times\)T\(^6\). The directions of \(\mathcal{C}\) degenerate smoothly as a chain of bolts which ends the spacetime in the IR and generates non-supersymmetric bubbles supported by M2-brane flux. Some specific solutions have ``flat'' directions where the sizes of their bubbles are totally unconstrained and can be arbitrarily tuned while the asymptotics remains fixed. The solitons should correspond to regular non-supersymmetric states of a holographically dual CFT\(_1\). |
