Leigh-Strassler compactified on a spindle

Abstract

Abstract We construct a new class of supersymmetric AdS3 × Y7 solutions of type IIB supergravity, where Y7 is an S5 fibration over a spindle, which are dual to d = 2, $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (0, 2) SCFTs. The solutions are constructed in a sub-truncation of D = 5, SO(6) maximal gauged supergravity and they all lie within the anti-twist class. We show that the central charge computed from the gravity solutions agrees with an anomaly polynomial calculation associated with compactifying the $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1, d = 4 Leigh-Strassler SCFT on a spindle.
