D3-Branes Wrapped on a Spindle

We construct supersymmetric AdS(3) x Sigma solutions of minimal gauged supergravity in D = 5, where Sigma is a two-dimensional orbifold known as a spindle. Remarkably, these uplift on S-5 , or more generally on any regular Sasaki-Einstein manifold, to smooth solutions of type IIB supergravity. The solutions are dual to d = 2, H = (0, 2) SCFTs and we show that the central charge for the gravity solution agrees with a tield theory calculation associated with D3-branes wrapped on Sigma.

Automated summary

The study focuses on constructing supersymmetric AdS solutions in 5-dimensional minimal gauged supergravity, which can uplift to smooth solutions of type IIB supergravity on regular Sasaki-Einstein manifolds. These solutions are dual to d = 2, H = (0, 2) SCFTs, and it is shown that the central charge of the gravity solution matches with a field theory calculation involving D3-branes wrapped on Sigma.
