Description

We construct $1/4$-BPS, asymptotically locally hyperbolic Euclidean solutions of $d=4$, $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauged supergravity, describing the total space of orbifold line bundles over a spindle. These $U(1) \times U(1)$-invariant solutions are divided into two classes, corresponding to either the twist or the anti-twist on the spindle-bolt, and generalize the spherical bolts found in arXiv:1212.4618. Consequently, the boundary metrics are squashed, branched lens spaces, and our results provide predictions for the large $N$ limit of the corresponding localized partition functions of the dual superconformal theories.
