Supersymmetric AdS backgrounds in string and M-theory

We first present a short review of general supersymmetric compactifications in string and M-theory using the language of G-structures and intrinsic torsion. We then summarize recent work on the generic conditions for supersynimetric AdS(5) backgrounds in M-theory and the construction of classes of n...
