For BPS black holes with at least four unbroken supercharges, we describe how the macroscopic entropy can be used to compute an appropriate index, which can be then compared with the same index computed in the microscopic description. We obtain exact results incorporating all higher order quantum corrections in the limit when only one of the charges, representing momentum along an internal direction, approaches infinity keeping all other charges fixed at arbitrary finite values. In this limit, we find that the microscopic index is controlled by certain anomaly coefficients whereas the macroscopic index is controlled by the coefficients of certain Chern-Simons terms in the effective action. The equality between the macroscopic and the microscopic index then follows as a consequence of anomaly inflow. In contrast, the absolute degeneracy does not have any such simple expression in terms of the anomaly coefficients or coefficients of Chern-Simons terms. We apply our analysis to several examples of spinning black holes in five dimensions and non-spinning black holes in four dimensions to compute the index exactly in the limit when only one of the charges becomes large, and find perfect agreement with the result of exact microscopic counting. Our analysis resolves a puzzle involving M5-branes wrapped on a 5-cycle in K3 x T^3.

Multicentered black hole saddles for supersymmetric indices
Multi-center black hole saddles for the supersymmetric index exist at finite temperature, their on-shell action is the sum of extremal entropies, and the entire moduli space of saddles vanishes at walls of marginal stability.

Pure D-brane Black Holes: BPS Counting and non-BPS Vacua
The (1,1,1,5) and (1,1,1,6) D2-D2-D2-D6 BPS systems yield 2032 and 5616 vacua, matching U-duality, while the analogous non-BPS system has no zero-energy vacua and six doubly-degenerate low-energy minima.

Mock modularity at work, or black holes in a forest
Generating functions of D4-D2-D0 BPS black hole microstates in Calabi-Yau compactifications are higher-depth mock modular forms, and solving their anomaly equations determines exact degeneracies and topological invariants.
