A bstractAn infinite class of analytic AdS7 × S3 solutions has recently been found. The S3 is distorted into a “crescent roll” shape by the presence of D8-branes. These solutions are conjectured to be dual to a class of “linear quivers”, with a large number of gauge groups coupled to (bi-)fundamental matter and tensor fields. In this paper we perform a precise quantitative check of this correspondence, showing that the a Weyl anomalies computed in field theory and gravity agree. In the…
