abstract
We show that there exist supersymmetric solutions of five-dimensional, pure, $\mathcal{N}=1$ Supergravity such that the norm of the supersymmetric Killing vector, built out of the Killing spinor, is a real not-everywhere analytic function such that all its derivatives vanish at a point where the Killing vector field becomes null. The norm of the Killing vector field then is not an analytic function on a neighborhood around this point. We explicitly construct such solutions by using a multi-center Gibbons-Hawking base. Although many of these solutions have infinite charges, we find explicit examples with finite charges that asymptote to $AdS_3\times S_2$ and discuss their physical interpretation.

Macroscopic origin of the topologically twisted index on $T^2 \times \Sigma_{\mathfrak{g}}$
New supergravity black string saddles reproduce the large-N topologically twisted index of 4d N=1 SCFTs on T^2 × Σ_g via the on-shell action I = -π i c/(12τ).
