Abstract
We construct supersymmetric solutions of gauged supergravity, where is a two-dimensional orbifold known as a spindle. These uplift on to solutions of supergravity which have orbifold singularites. We argue that the solutions are dual to , SCFTs that arise from 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.
