Abstract

Solutions of D = 7 maximal gauged supergravity are constructed with metrics that are a product of an n-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) space, with n = 2, 3, 4, 5, and certain Einstein manifolds. The gauge fields have the same form as in the recently constructed solutions describing the near-horizon limits of M5-branes wrapping supersymmetric cycles. The new solutions do not preserve any supersymmetry and can be uplifted to obtain new solutions of D = 11 supergravity, which are warped and twisted products of the D = 7 metric with a squashed four-sphere. Some aspects of the stability of the solutions are discussed.
