We consider a general class of asymptotically locally AdS_5 solutions of minimal gauged supergravity, that are dual to superconformal field theories on curved backgrounds S^1 x M_3 preserving two supercharges. We demonstrate that standard holographic renormalization corresponds to a scheme that breaks supersymmetry. We propose new boundary terms that restore supersymmetry, and show that for smooth solutions with topology S^1 x R^4 the improved on-shell action reproduces both the supersymmetric Casimir energy and the field theory BPS relation between charges.

Equivariant localization for $D=5$ gauged supergravity
A method is given to compute the D=5 on-shell action via equivariant localization after dimensional reduction to D=4 N=2 gauged supergravity for solutions admitting both the R-symmetry Killing vector and an additional...
