Universal spindles: D2's on $\Sigma$ and M5's on $\Sigma\times \mathbb{H}^3$

Abstract

We study the uplift of a 4d black hole in 4d Einstein--Maxwell supergravity with a spindle horizon to massive type IIA and 11d supergravity on $S^4\times \mathbb{H}^3$. The solutions exhibit features distinct to the uplift of the same 4d solution to 11d supergravity on an $S^7$. In particular, whereas the orbifold singularities may be removed in the 11d uplift on an $S^7$, they are always present in both of the classes considered here. We compute the free energy of the solutions giving predictions for the free energy of a class of 3d Chern--Simons theories wrapped on a spindle.
