Index and localization for type B superconformal mechanics on singular spaces
hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

A localization method for type B superconformal indices on singular spaces is proposed, with a self-adjointness caveat that can make the index ambiguous.
The statistical mechanics of near-BPS black holes
hep-th 2020-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

Near-BPS black holes in supergravity have a mass gap of 1/(8 Phi_r) and e^{S0} extremal states, derived from an exactly quantized N=4 super-Schwarzian theory.
Near Extremal Black Hole Entropy as Entanglement Entropy via AdS2/CFT1
hep-th 2007-10 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

Near-extremal black hole entropy equals the entanglement entropy between two dual conformal quantum mechanics on the two AdS2 boundaries, supported by a BTZ microscopic counting and an exact free-fermion computation.
Holographic BCFTs and Communicating Black Holes
hep-th 2021-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

The entanglement entropy of a strip BCFT with mismatched boundary conditions matches between a two-Karch-Randall-brane AdS3 dual and a twist-operator CFT calculation, and the dual implies a gap in the boundary conditi...
A Holographic Derivation of the Weak Gravity Conjecture
hep-th 2018-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

Exactly stable extremal black branes in AdS would produce a volume-law entanglement entropy that contradicts a proven area-law theorem, so a superextremal particle must exist.

Comments on string theory backgrounds with non-relativistic conformal symmetry

The Schroedinger-symmetry gravity backgrounds are shown to arise from a TsT transformation of AdS5 x Y, their finite-temperature thermodynamics is computed, and consistent KK truncations with massive vector fields are...
Conformal quantum mechanics as the CFT$_1$ dual to AdS$_2$

A quantum particle in an inverse-square potential yields conformal two- and three-point functions because the non-invariance of its vacuum cancels the non-primary character of its operators.

Agreement between macroscopic and microscopic black hole entropy in N=2 string compactifications requires R^2 corrections and Wald's modified entropy formula.
