abstract

We compute the superconformal index of 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal theories obtained from $N$ M5-branes wrapped on a hyperbolic 3-manifold. Exploiting the 3d-3d correspondence, we use perturbative invariants of $SL(N,\mathbb{C})$ Chern-Simons theory to determine the superconformal index in the large $N$ limit, including corrections logarithmic in $N$. The leading order partition function provides a microscopic foundation for the entropy function of the dual rotating asymptotically AdS$_4$ black holes. We also verify that the supergravity one-loop contribution to the $\log N$ term coincides with the field theoretic result. We propose a 3d-3d formulation for the refined topologically twisted index, and provide strong evidence in support of its vanishing --- which agrees with the fact that the expected dual rotating magnetically-charged black hole does not exist. This provides an interesting link between gravity and a tantalizing mathematical result.

  1. Cardy limit of the 3d superconformal index

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    In the Cardy limit the 3d superconformal index obeys Z ~ beta^{-#} on the first sheet and Z ~ e^{#/beta} on the second, with gauge-enhancing saddles screened for non-chiral theories.

  2. One-loop corrections to near extremal Kerr thermodynamics from semiclassical Virasoro blocks

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Near-extremal Kerr black holes get a universal (s-1/2) log T_H entropy correction from long-lived modes, derived exactly from Virasoro blocks.

  3. Mixed 't Hooft Anomalies and the Witten Effect for AdS Black Holes

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Near-BPS dyonic AdS4 black holes with a theta angle show a Witten-effect charge shift that reduces the mass gap and the index, and at the special angle both the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy and the supersymmetric index ...

  4. Moduli-dependent one-loop entropy of hyperbolic BPS black hole in AdS$_4$

    hep-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The one-loop logarithmic entropy correction for a hyperbolic BPS black hole in AdS4 depends on the unfixed horizon scalar modulus and acts as a quantum potential that lifts the classical flat direction.

  5. One loop corrections to the thermodynamics of near-extremal Kerr-(A)dS black holes from Heun equation

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Cold near-extremal Kerr-de Sitter black holes carry universal log(T) entropy corrections while rotating Nariai geometries do not, as derived from Teukolsky/Heun connection coefficients.

  6. The spectrum of near-BPS Kerr-Newman black holes and the ABJM mass gap

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Near-BPS AdS4 Kerr-Newman black holes are described by an SU(1,1|1) super-Schwarzian theory, yielding a predicted mass gap of order N^{-3/2} and a continuous spectrum above it in ABJM.
