We construct supersymmetric $AdS_5times Sigma$ 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.

We construct supersymmetric $AdS_3times Sigma$ 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 $d=2$, $mathcal{N}=(0,2)$ SCFTs and we show that the central charge for the gravity solution agrees with a field theory calculation associated with D3-branes wrapped on $Sigma$. Unlike for smooth $Sigma$ the superconformal R-symmetry mixes with the $U(1)$ isometry of the spindle.
We construct a consistent Kaluza-Klein reduction of $D=11$ supergravity on $Sigma_2times S^4$, where $Sigma_2=S^2,mathbb{R}^2$ or $H^2$, or a quotient thereof, at the level of the bosonic fields. The result is a gauged $N=4$, $D=5$ supergravity theory coupled to three vector multiplets, with the gauging lying in an $SO(2)times SE(3)subset SO(5,3)$ subgroup of the $SO(1,1)times SO(5,3)$ global symmetry group of the ungauged theory. For $Sigma_2=H^2$, the $D=5$ theory has a maximally supersymmetric $AdS_5$ vacuum which uplifts to the known solution of $D=11$ supergravity corresponding to M5-branes wrapping a Riemann surface with genus greater than one and dual to an $N=2$ SCFT in $d=4$. For $Sigma_2=S^2$, we find two $AdS_5$ solutions, one of which is new, and both of which are unstable. There is an additional subtruncation to an $N=2$ gauged supergravity coupled to two vector multiplets, with very special real manifold $SO(1,1)times SO(1,1)$, and a single hypermultiplet, with quaternionic Kahler manifold $SU(2,1)/S[U(2)times U(1)]$ and gauging associated with an $SO(2)timesmathbb{R}subset SU(2,1)$ subgroup.
We study three-dimensional superconformal field theories on wrapped M5-branes. Applying the gauge/gravity duality and the recently proposed 3d-3d relation, we deduce quantitative predictions for the perturbative free energy of a Chern-Simons theory on hyperbolic 3-space. Remarkably, the perturbative expansion is expected to terminate at two-loops in the large N limit. We check the correspondence numerically in a number of examples, and confirm the N^3 scaling with precise coefficients.
We study the interplay between four-derivative 4d gauged supergravity, holography, wrapped M5-branes, and theories of class $mathcal{R}$. Using results from Chern-Simons theory on hyperbolic three-manifolds and the 3d-3d correspondence we are able to constrain the two independent coefficients in the four-derivative supergravity Lagrangian. This in turn allows us to calculate the subleading terms in the large-$N$ expansion of supersymmetric partition functions for an infinite class of three-dimensional $mathcal{N}=2$ SCFTs of class $mathcal{R}$. We also determine the leading correction to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of asymptotically AdS$_4$ black holes arising from wrapped M5-branes. In addition, we propose and test some conjectures about the perturbative partition function of Chern-Simons theory with complexified ADE gauge groups on closed hyperbolic three-manifolds.
In this paper, we investigate the properties of a membrane in the M5-brane background. Through solving the classical equations of motion of the membrane, we can understand the classical dynamics of the membrane in this background.
