Twisted D3-brane and M5-brane compactifications from multi-charge spindles

We construct families of supersymmetric AdS(3) x Y-7 and AdS(3) x Y-8 solutions to type IIB string theory and M-theory, respectively. Here Y-7 is an S-5 fibration over Sigma, while Y-8 is an S-4 fibration over Sigma (g) x Sigma, where Sigma (g) is a Riemann surface of genus g > 1 and Sigma is a two-dimensional orbifold known as a spindle. We interpret the solutions as near-horizon limits of N D3-branes wrapped on Sigma and N M5-branes wrapped on Sigma (g) x Sigma, respectively. These are holographically dual to d = 2, (0, 2) SCFTs, and we show that the central charge and superconformal R-symmetry of the gravity solutions agree with dual field theory calculations.

Automated summary

The article presents families of supersymmetric AdS(3) x Y-7 and AdS(3) x Y-8 solutions in IIB string theory and M-theory, respectively. The solutions are interpreted as near-horizon limits of N D3-branes wrapped on Sigma and N M5-branes wrapped on Sigma (g) x Sigma, corresponding to holographically dual to d=2, (0,2) SCFTs. The central charge and superconformal R-symmetry of the gravity solutions are shown to agree with dual field theory calculations.
