We construct supergravity solutions dual to the twisted field theories arising when M-theory fivebranes wrap general supersymmetric cycles. The solutions are constructed in maximal D=7 gauged supergravity and then uplifted to D=11. Our…

We present new $AdS_5$ solutions in 11d supergravity and identify them as the gravity duals of a class of 4d $\mathcal N = 2$ SCFTs of Argyres-Douglas type, engineered by a stack of M5-branes wrapped on a sphere with one irregular puncture…

We find solutions of 11-dimensional supergravity for M5-branes wrapped on Riemann surfaces. These solutions preserve ${\cal N} = 2$ four-dimensional supersymmetry. They are dual to ${\cal N} = 2$ gauge theories, including non-conformal…
