Abstract

We construct families of supersymmetric AdS3×Y7_3\times Y_7 and AdS3×Y8_3\times Y_8 solutions to type IIB string theory and M-theory, respectively. Here Y7Y_7 is an S5S^5 fibration over Σ\Sigma, while Y8Y_8 is an S4S^4 fibration over Σg×Σ\Sigma_g\times \Sigma, where Σg\Sigma_g is a Riemann surface of genus g>1g>1 and Σ\Sigma is a two-dimensional orbifold known as a spindle. We interpret the solutions as near-horizon limits of NN D3-branes wrapped on Σ\Sigma and NN M5-branes wrapped on Σg×Σ\Sigma_g\times \Sigma, respectively. These are holographically dual to d=2d=2, (0,2)(0,2) SCFTs, and we show that the central charge and superconformal R-symmetry of the gravity solutions agree with dual field theory calculations.
