abstract

We study supersymmetric index of 4d $SU(N)$ $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory on $S^1 \times M_3$. We compute asymptotic behavior of the index in the limit of shrinking $S^1$ for arbitrary $N$ by a refinement of supersymmetric Cardy formula. The asymptotic behavior for the superconformal index case ($M_3 =S^3$) at large $N$ agrees with the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of rotating electrically charged BPS black hole in $AdS_5$ via a Legendre transformation as recently shown in literature. We also find that the agreement formally persists for finite $N$ if we slightly modify the AdS/CFT dictionary between Newton constant and $N$. This implies an existence of non-renormalization property of the quantum black hole entropy. We also study the cases with other gauge groups and additional matters, and the orbifold $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory. It turns out that the entropies of all the CFT examples in this paper are given by $2\pi \sqrt{Q_1 Q_2 +Q_1 Q_3 +Q_2 Q_3 -2c(J_1 +J_2 )} $ with charges $Q_{1,2,3}$, angular momenta $J_{1,2}$ and central charge $c$. The results for other $M_3$ make predictions to the gravity side.

Bridging 4D QFTs and 2D VOAs via 3D high-temperature EFTs

hep-th · 2024-09-26 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

High-temperature limits on higher sheets of the superconformal index for (A1,A2n) Argyres-Douglas theories yield Gang-Kim-Stubbs 3d N=2 theories whose boundaries support Virasoro minimal model VOAs M(2,2n+3) and associated MTCs.

Quantum black hole cohomologies

hep-th · 2026-06-26 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0 · 2 refs

In the SU(2) maximal SYM theory, some fortuitous cohomologies are lifted by 1-loop corrections while the lightest and hairy versions are not, yielding at least 1.2% higher entropy for classical cohomologies than for strictly protected states in the Cardy limit.
