Abstract
We examine the behaviour of Killing spinors on AdS(5) under various discret e symmetries of the spacetime. In this way we discover a number of supersym metric orbifolds, reproducing the known ones and adding a few novel ones to the list. These orbifolds break the SO(4; 2) invariance of AdS(5) down to subgroups. We also make some comments on the non-compact Stiefel manifold W -4,W-2.
