D3-branes wrapped on a spindle


الملخص بالإنكليزية

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.
