In this thesis we study maximally supersymmetric solutions of gauged supergravity theories, with special focus on anti-de Sitter solutions. The latter are relevant in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence. In the first part we classify all maximally supersymmetric solutions of all gauged or deformed supergravity theories in D ≥ 3 space-time dimensions. In the second part we exclusively study maximally supersymmetric AdSD solutions of gauged supergravities in dimensions D ≥ 4. We discuss the structure of the allowed gauge groups as well as possible supersymmetry preserving deformations, which correspond to the conformal manifold of the dual SCFTs.
