abstract

We find new asymptotically locally AdS$_4$ Euclidean supersymmetric solutions of the STU model in four-dimensional gauged supergravity. These "black saddles" have an $S^1\times \Sigma_{\mathfrak{g}}$ boundary at asymptotic infinity and cap off smoothly in the interior. The solutions can be uplifted to eleven dimensions and are holographically dual to the topologically twisted ABJM theory on $S^1\times \Sigma_{\mathfrak{g}}$. We show explicitly that the on-shell action of the black saddle solutions agrees exactly with the topologically twisted index of the ABJM theory in the planar limit for general values of the magnetic fluxes, flavor fugacities, and real masses. This agreement relies on a careful holographic renormalization analysis combined with a novel UV/IR holographic relation between supergravity parameters and field theory sources. The Euclidean black saddle solution space contains special points that can be Wick-rotated to regular Lorentzian supergravity backgrounds that correspond to the well-known supersymmetric dyonic AdS$_4$ black holes in the STU model.

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Supersymmetric Euclidean D=4 N=2 gauged supergravity actions and fluxes localize onto R-symmetry fixed points, proving large-N SCFT free-energy formulas and UV-IR relations.

  2. Holographic Tests of the $\mu$ Ensemble

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Fixed-μ ensemble computations in 11d supergravity reproduce ABJM partition functions (squashed S³, SCI, TTI) as Airy functions via a Laplace transform whose measure is fixed by bulk zero-mode counting.

  3. Multicentered black hole saddles for supersymmetric indices

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.
