Abstract

We apply the conjecture of [1] for gravitational building blocks to the effective supergravity description of M-theory on S7/ℤk. Utilizing known localization results for the holographically dual ABJM theory, we determine a complete tower of higher derivative corrections to the AdS4 supergravity and a further set of quantum corrections. This uniquely fixes the gravitational block, leading to holographic predictions for a number of exact ABJM observables, excluding only constant and non-perturbative corrections in the gauge group rank N. The predicted S3 partition function is an Airy function that reproduces previous results and generalizes them to include arbitrary squashing and mass deformations/R-charge assignments. The topologically twisted and superconformal indices are instead products of two different Airy functions, in agreement with direct numeric calculations in the unrefined limit of the former object. The general fixed-point formula for an arbitrary supersymmetric background is similarly given as a product of Airy functions.
