Abstract
We investigate the superconformal indices for the Chern-Simons-matter theories proposed for M2-branes probing the cones over \( {{{{N^{010}}}} \left/ {{{\mathbb{Z}_k}}} \right.} \), Q 111, M 32 with \( \mathcal{N} = 2,3 \) supersymmetries and compare them with the corresponding dual gravity indices. For N 010, we find perfect agreements. In addition, for \( {{{{N^{010}}}} \left/ {{{\mathbb{Z}_k}}} \right.} \), we also find an agreement with the gravity index including the contributions from two types of D6-branes wrapping \( \mathbb{R}{\mathbb{P}^3} \). For Q 111, we find that the model obtained by adding fundamental flavors to the \( \mathcal{N} = 6 \) theory has the right structure to be the correct model. For M 32, we find the matching with the gravity index modulo contributions from peculiar saddle points.
