Abstract
We built the first eleven-dimensional supergravity solutions with SO(2, 4) × SO(3) ×U(1) R symmetry that exhibit the asymptotic emergence of an extra U(1) isometry. This enables us to make the connection with the usual electrostatics-quiver description. The solution is obtained via the Toda frame of Kähler surfaces with vanishing scalar curvature and SU(2) action.
