Abstract: We use holography and four-dimensional ,mathcalN=4, gauged supergravity to collect evidence for a large class of three-dimensional ,mathcalN=2, conformal field theories with the same free energy. On the gravity side, we construct a one-parameter family of ,extrmISO(3)imesextrmISO(3) gaugings of half-maximal supergravity containing a rich structure of ,mathcalN=2, AdS4 solutions at fixed radius. By looking at excitations around these AdS4 solutions, the spectrum of low lying operators in the dual ,mathcalN=2, CFT3's is computed and further arranged into ,mathfrakosp(2|4) supermultiplets. Upon suitable removal of gauge redundancies, we identify the Zamolodchikov metric on the conformal manifold dual to the AdS4 moduli space, and recover previous results in the S-fold literature. Two special points of ,mathcalN=4, supersymmetry enhancement occur. While one describes an S-fold CFT3 dual to a non-geometric type IIB twisted compactification, the string-theoretic realisation of the other, if any, is still lacking.
