Cardy-like asymptotics of the 4d mathcal{N}=4 index and AdS₅ blackholes
read the original abstract
Choi, Kim, Kim, and Nahmgoong have recently pioneered analyzing a Cardy-like limit of the superconformal index of the 4d $\mathcal{N}=4$ theory with complexified fugacities which encodes the entropy of the dual supersymmetric AdS$_5$ blackholes. Here we study the Cardy-like asymptotics of the index within the rigorous framework of elliptic hypergeometric integrals, thereby filling a gap in their derivation of the blackhole entropy function, finding a new blackhole saddle-point, and demonstrating novel bifurcation phenomena in the asymptotics of the index as a function of fugacity phases. We also comment on the relevance of the supersymmetric Casimir energy to the blackhole entropy function in the present context.

Indices of M5 and M2 branes at finite $N$ from equivariant volumes, and a new duality
Finite-N indices for M5- and M2-branes are expressed via the same equivariant characteristic classes, generalizing M2/M5 duality through geometry exchange.

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