Abstract

We construct supersymmetric AdS3AdS_3 solutions of D=11D=11 supergravity, dual to d=2d=2, N=(0,2)\mathcal{N}=(0,2) SCFTs, that are associated with M5-branes wrapping two different four-dimensional orbifolds. In one case the orbifold is a spindle fibred over another spindle, while in the other it is a spindle fibred over a Riemann surface with genus g>1g>1. We show that the central charges of the d=2d=2 SCFTs calculated from the gravity solutions agree with field theory computations using anomaly polynomials. The new D=11D=11 solutions are obtained after constructing a new consistent Kaluza-Klein truncation of maximal D=7D=7 gauged supergravity reduced on a spindle down to D=5D=5 minimal gauged supergravity.
