Abstract: We construct AdS4 flux vacua of type IIA string theory in the supergravity (large volume, small gs) regime, including the backreaction of O6-planes. Our solutions are the localized versions of the smeared solutions on Calabi-Yau orientifolds studied by DeWolfe, Giryavets, Kachru and Taylor and in other works. We find that the O-plane backreaction in these solutions generates warping, a varying dilaton, non-closed RR field strengths and internal curvature. Just like their smeared counterparts, the localized solutions admit stabilized moduli, a parametric control over string corrections and a parametric separation between the AdS and KK scales. Our explicit expressions furthermore make precise the common lore that smeared solutions should approximate the exact ones in the large-volume, small-gs limit. Finally, our solutions appear to violate a recent swampland conjecture about an absence of scale separation in supersymmetric AdS vacua. We make a simple observation explaining why this happens in these solutions in contrast to most other AdS solutions in string theory.
