abstract

Understanding how the thermodynamic properties of a black hole are modified when probed by D-branes is an important problem in AdS/CFT. This work focuses on a recently proposed black hole/D3-brane system in AdS$_5\times$S$^5$, which is dual to four-dimensional N=4 SYM in the presence of a two-dimensional surface defect. The Laplace transform that extracts the asymptotic growth of states in this defect CFT naturally defines a thermodynamic approach in the gravitational side of the duality for which charges and entropy are real. Studying the superconformal defect index in a large-charge expansion for all values of~$N$, we compute the leading correction to the entropy of the combined system, which matches precisely with its gravity counterpart.

  1. Ten-dimensional localization

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Equivariantly closed polyforms for type II Page fluxes and actions enable direct 10D localization of on-shell actions and flux quantization for minimally supersymmetric backgrounds.

  2. Microstates of AdS$_5$ black holes with hypermultiplets

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A new family of rotating AdS5 black holes with nonzero hypermultiplet scalars has horizon entropy matching the superconformal index of the dual SCFTs, at first order in a perturbative expansion around z=1.

  3. Gravitational index, black hole saddle degeneracy, and one-form symmetry

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The |G|-fold degeneracy of supersymmetric AdS5 black hole index saddles is fixed by the flux-quantized BF coupling of the bulk one-form symmetry and persists unmodified in the decompactified black-brane limit.
