Description

We present the first example of holographic matching between the index of a SCFT defined on an orbifold with conical singularities and the entropy of supersymmetric AdS black holes. The orbifold in question is the spindle, which is homeomorphic to the sphere but it has orbifold conical singularities at the poles. We show that the large-N limit of the 3d spindle index of holographic Chern-Simons-matter theories matches the entropy function of accelerating AdS$_4$ black holes. We also discuss higher-dimensional generalizations of this setup.
