abstract
We apply the conjecture of arXiv:2111.06903 for gravitational building blocks to the effective supergravity description of M-theory on S$^7/\mathbb{Z}_k$. Utilizing known localization results for the holographically dual ABJM theory, we determine a complete tower of higher derivative corrections to the AdS$_4$ 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 S$^3$ 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.

Derives Airy representation for S^3 partition functions in M2-brane theories that exactly matches equivariant topological string predictions and proposes a new CY4 to C x CY3 correspondence via quantum curves.
Derives Z_{S^1×S^2} ∼ |Z_{S^3_b}|^2 for 3d N=2 SCFTs and links it holographically to supersymmetric AdS4 black hole partition functions, akin to OSV.
Vertices of fundamental domains for del Pezzo quantum curves with FI parameters are realized as factorized curves from 5-branes dressed by FI parameters, matching minuscule weights.
Equivariantly closed forms in D=4 N=2 conformal supergravity allow closed-form supersymmetric observables in higher derivative theories without solving equations of motion.
