Pietro Ferrero, Jerome P. Gauntlett, Dario Martelli, James Sparks

TL;DR
This paper constructs new supersymmetric solutions in supergravity describing M5-branes wrapped on a spindle, revealing a novel mixing of R-symmetry with the spindle's isometry and matching field theory and gravity results.
Contribution
It introduces supersymmetric $AdS_5$ solutions with spindle orbifolds in $D=7$ supergravity, extending the understanding of M5-branes wrapped on orbifolds and their dual SCFTs.
Findings
Constructed $AdS_5\times \Sigma$ solutions with orbifold singularities.
Demonstrated R-symmetry mixing with spindle isometry in IR.
Matched gravity central charge with field theory calculations.
Abstract
We construct supersymmetric solutions of gauged supergravity, where is a two-dimensional orbifold known as a spindle. These uplift on to solutions of supergravity which have orbifold singularites. We argue that the solutions are dual to , SCFTs that arise from 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.
