Abstract
A bstract We construct families of supersymmetric AdS 3 × Y 7 and AdS 3 × Y 8 solutions to type IIB string theory and M-theory, respectively. Here Y 7 is an S 5 fibration over Σ, while Y 8 is an S 4 fibration over Σ g × Σ, where Σ g is a Riemann surface of genus g > 1 and Σ is a two-dimensional orbifold known as a spindle. We interpret the solutions as near-horizon limits of N D3-branes wrapped on Σ and N M5-branes wrapped on Σ g × Σ, respectively. These are holographically dual to d = 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.
