We survey on-shell and off-shell higher derivative supergravities in dimensions 1≤ D≤ 11.
Various approaches to their construction, including the Noether procedure,(harmonic) …

We present a holographic derivation of the entropy of supersymmetric asymptotically AdS 5
black holes. We define a BPS limit of black hole thermodynamics by first focussing on a …

We study the thermodynamics of AdS 4 black hole solutions of Einstein-Maxwell theory that
are accelerating, rotating, and carry electric and magnetic charges. We focus on the class for …

A bstract We construct supersymmetric field theories on Riemannian three-
manifolds\(\mathcal {M}\), focusing on\(\mathcal {N}\)= 2 theories with a U (1) R symmetry …

A bstract We study d-dimensional Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) on the cylinder,\({S}^{d-
1}\times\mathrm {\mathbb {R}}\), and its deformations. In d= 2 the Casimir energy (ie the …

A bstract We construct a new class of supersymmetric AdS 3× Y 7 solutions of type IIB
supergravity, where Y 7 is an S 5 fibration over a spindle, which are dual to d= 2,\(\mathcal …

A bstract We discuss localization of the path integral for supersymmetric gauge theories with
an R-symmetry on Hermitian four-manifolds. After presenting the localization locus …

We study solutions in the Plebański–Demiański family which describe an accelerating,
rotating, and dyonically charged black hole in AdS 4. These are solutions of D= 4 Einstein …

We review exact results in N= 2 supersymmetric gauge theories defined on S4 and its
deformation. We first summarize the construction of rigid SUSY theories on curved …

This is the introductory chapter to this issue. We review the main idea of the localization
technique and its brief history both in geometry and in QFT. We discuss localization in …
