Abstract

We consider $d=2$, $\mathcal{N}=(0,2)$ SCFTs that can arise from M5-branes wrapping four-dimensional, complex, toric manifolds and orbifolds. We use equivariant localization to compute the off-shell central charge of the dual supergravity solutions, obtaining a result that can be written as a sum of gravitational blocks and precisely agrees with a field theory computation using anomaly polynomials and $c$-extremization.
