abstract

We study the index of $\mathcal{N}=4$ Yang-Mills theory on $S^3\times\mathbb{R}$ at large angular momenta. A generalized Cardy limit exhibits macroscopic entropy at large $N$. Our result is derived using free QFT analysis, and also a background field method on $S^3$. The index sets a lower bound on the entropy. It saturates the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of known supersymmetric AdS$_5$ black holes, thus accounting for their microstates. We further analyze the so-called Macdonald index, exploring small black holes and possibly new black holes reminiscent of hairy black holes. Finally, we study aspects of large supersymmetric AdS$_7$ black holes, using background field method on $S^5$ and 't Hooft anomalies.

  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. Equal-charge projection of the $\mathcal{N}=4$ index: exact large-$N$ formula and finite-rank $U(3)$ coefficients

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Equal-charge projection of the N=4 index admits an exact large-N factorization into a pentagonal prefactor times the cube of the partition function, and finite-rank U(3) coefficients populate the resulting zero interv...

  3. Probing Non-Graviton Spectra in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM via BMN truncation and S-Duality

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The BMN index of N=4 SYM contains universal non-graviton bosonic towers, and the S-duality mismatch between SO(7) and Sp(3) pinpoints a non-graviton cohomology.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Supersymmetric zeta functions and determinants

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Residues and special values of supersymmetric zeta functions (built from single-particle indices) are conjectured to reproduce anomaly coefficients, Casimir energies, and central charges across 2d/4d/6d.

  8. Localizing AlAdS$_5$ black holes and the SUSY index on $S^1 \times M_3$

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The S^1×M_3 supersymmetric index for round, Lens, elliptically and biaxially squashed three-spheres is reproduced from D=5 equivariant localization after subtracting the Casimir energy via a gluing prescription.

  9. New phases in QCD at finite temperature and chemical potential

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the Veneziano large-N_c limit, QCD at finite baryon chemical potential has two partially deconfined phases (PD-1, PD-2) and two confined phases (CC-1, CC-2), separated by a Gross-Witten-Wadia transition that can be...
