Gravitational Blocks, Spindles and GK Geometry
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract We derive a gravitational block formula for the supersymmetric action for a general class of supersymmetric AdS solutions, described by GK geometry. Extremal points of this action describe supersymmetric AdS $$_3$$ 3 solutions of type IIB supergravity, sourced by D3-branes, and supersymmetric AdS $$_2$$ 2 solutions of $$D=11$$ D = 11 supergravity, sourced by M2-branes. In both cases, the branes are also wrapped over a two-dimensional orbifold known as a spindle, or a two-sphere. We develop various geometric methods for computing the gravitational block contributions, allowing us to recover previously known results for various explicit supergravity solutions, and to significantly generalize these results to other compactifications. For the AdS $$_3$$ 3 solutions we give a general proof that our off-shell supersymmetric action agrees with an appropriate off-shell c-function in the dual field theory, establishing a very general exact result in holography. For the AdS $$_2$$ 2 solutions our gravitational block formula allows us to obtain the entropy for supersymmetric, magnetically charged and accelerating black holes in AdS $$_4$$ 4 .

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
