Abstract
Exceptional Field Theory has been recently shown to be very powerful to compute Kaluza-Klein spectra. Using these techniques, the mass matrix of Kaluza-Klein vector perturbations about a specific class of AdS4 solutions of D = 11 and massive type IIA supergravity is determined. These results are then employed to characterise the complete supersymmetric spectrum about some notable \( \mathcal{N} \) = 2 and \( \mathcal{N} \) = 3 AdS4 solutions in this class, which are dual to specific three-dimensional superconformal Chern-Simons field theories.
