abstract
We study the $S^1\times\Sigma_{\mathfrak g}$ topologically twisted index and the squashed sphere partition function of various 3d $\mathcal N\geq2$ holographic superconformal field theories arising from M2-branes. Employing numerical techniques in combination with well-motivated conjectures we provide compact closed-form expressions valid to all orders in the perturbative $1/N$ expansion for these observables. We also discuss the holographic implications of our results for the topologically twisted index for the dual M-theory Euclidean path integral around asymptotically AdS$_4$ solutions of 11d supergravity. In Lorentzian signature this leads to a prediction for the corrections to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of a class of static asymptotically AdS$_4$ BPS black holes.

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.
New framework for one-loop log divergences on AdS x S spaces recovers the 1/4 log N ABJM correction from 11d SUGRA in 4d language.
