Abstract: Semi-local quantum critical behaviour in $D-1$ spacetime dimensions can be holographically described by metrics that are conformal to $Ad{S}_{2}imesmathbb{R}^{D-2}$, with the conformal factor characterised by a parameter $eta$. We analyse such "$eta$-geometries" in a top-down setting by focussing on the $U(1{)}^4$ truncation of D=4 N=8 gauged supergravity. The model has extremal black hole solutions carrying three non-zero electric or magnetic charges which approach $Ad{S}_4$ in the UV and an $eta=1$ geometry in the IR. Adding a fourth charge provides a mechanism to resolve the singularity of the $eta$-geometry, replacing it with an $Ad{S}_{2}imesmathbb{R}^2$ factor in the IR, while maintaining a large region where the $eta$-geometry scaling is approximately valid. Some of the magnetically charged black hole solutions preserve supersymmetry while others just preserve it in the IR. Finally, we show that $eta$-geometries, with various values of $eta$, can be obtained from the dimensional reduction of geometries consisting of $AdS$ or Lifshitz geometries with flat directions.
