We show that the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of a class of BPS electrically charged rotating black holes in AdS$_5\times S^5$ can be obtained by a simple extremization principle. We expect that this extremization corresponds to the attractor mechanism for BPS rotating black holes in five-dimensional gauged supergravity, which is still unknown. The expression to be extremized has a suggestive resemblance to anomaly polynomials and the supersymmetric Casimir energy recently studied for $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills.

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Equivariant localization computes the on-shell action of D=5 AdS rotating charged black holes in higher-derivative supergravity, exactly matching the dual superconformal index in the Cardy limit.

    The complex saddles of the ABJM index are interpreted through instability of wrapped M5-branes in the dual gravity theory.
