| contents | Motivated by the question of whether scale-separated AdS$_3$ flux vacua arising from G$_2$ compactifications admit an uplift to eleven-dimensional supergravity, we construct scale-separated AdS$_3$ flux vacua in massless type IIA with only O6-planes. We first present new scale-separated solutions in massive type IIA on a G$_2$ holonomy toroidal orbifold with four smeared O6-planes, analyze their properties, and then perform a double T-duality to obtain the corresponding massless backgrounds. In the dual frame, the internal space is locally given by a six-dimensional quotient space $X_6$ with an $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ structure of Iwasawa type times an untwisted circle $S^1$, while globally it is further modded out by a non-trivial $\mathbb{Z}_2$ quotient inherited from the G$_2$ orbifold action. Finally, we use T-duality to derive the corresponding superpotential in massless type IIA and identify parametrically classical, scale-separated families of solutions, as well as a family with parametrically large radii, scale separation, and strong coupling, thus allowing for an uplift to eleven-dimensional supergravity. |
