abstract

We construct supersymmetric $AdS_5\times \Sigma$ solutions of $D=7$ gauged supergravity, where $\Sigma$ is a two-dimensional orbifold known as a spindle. These uplift on $S^4$ to solutions of $D=11$ supergravity which have orbifold singularites. We argue that the solutions are dual to $d=4$, $\mathcal{N}=1$ SCFTs that arise from $N$ M5-branes wrapped on a spindle, embedded as a holomorphic curve inside a Calabi-Yau three-fold. In contrast to the usual topological twist solutions, the superconformal R-symmetry mixes with the isometry of the spindle in the IR, and we verify this via a field theory calculation, as well as reproducing the gravity formula for the central charge.

Discussion (0). Continue with ORCID to comment.

    All rotation-invariant superconformal defects satisfy CD/aT = -2(n-1)(p+2)Γ(p+1)/(n π^{p-n/2} Γ(p/2+1)Γ((n-p)/2)), proved from supersymmetric Ward identities.

  3. NUTs, Bolts, and Spindles

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    New infinite families of supersymmetric spindle-bolt solutions with branched lens-space boundaries are constructed, with on-shell actions matching equivariant localization.

  4. Localisation of $\mathcal{N} = (2,2)$ theories on spindles of both twists

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Exact partition functions for N=(2,2) theories on spindles are computed via localisation for both twist and anti-twist, yielding a unified formula.

  5. Monodromy Defects in Maximally Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theories from Holography

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Codimension-2 monodromy defects in p=2,3,4 maximal SYM are realized by re-interpreting spindle solutions, and their defect entanglement entropy is shown to be proportional to the ambient free energy.

  6. Non-conformal branes wrapped on a disk

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Disk solutions from non-conformal Dp/NS5-brane spindles are classified by charge sectors; compact disks mostly show monopoles and smeared branes, while non-compact disks mostly do not.
