abstract

We propose an entropy function for AdS$_4$ BPS black holes in M-theory with general magnetic charges, resolving in particular a long-standing puzzle about baryonic charges. The entropy function is constructed from a gravitational block defined solely in terms of topological data of the internal manifold. We show that the entropy of twisted black holes can always be reformulated as an $\mathcal{I}$-extremization problem -- even in cases where existing large-$N$ field theory computations fail to provide an answer. Furthermore, we correctly reproduce the entropy for a class of known black holes with purely baryonic magnetic charges. Our results offer both a conjecture for the general gravitational block for AdS$_4$ black holes in M-theory and a prediction for the large-$N$ limit of several partition functions whose saddle points have yet to be found.

    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.

    For toric AdS4 black holes, the geometric entropy extremization of Gauntlett, Martelli and Sparks is shown to be equivalent to I-extremization with a generalized free energy built from the master volume, including bar...
